Kernel Mode Setting on Intel 865G chipset results in Xv not working

[Brett Delle Grazie]

Using Kernel Mode Setting on Intel 865G chipset results in non-working Xv in X windows

Please note I am using the packages from the X Updates PPA so I'm using the Intel 2.9.x video driver for X.

The information attached is with kernel mode setting disabled (thus Xv works). I will attach a second set without it disabled to demonstrate.

Thanks,

Brett

The second set is with KMS enabled (so Xv init fails)

Hi Brett,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 510943

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm now running the latest Lucid Lynx 10.04 and this issue no longer occurs. (kernel 2.6.32-22)
Thanks for your assistance.
I'm removing the testing upstream notice as requested

Regards,

Brett
