Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

i845G using the ppa from Brian Rogers:
linux-headers-2.6.37-graphics2+12 linux-headers-2.6.37-graphics2+12-generic linux-image-2.6.37-graphics2+12-generic
see ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1653852

If driver intel is specified in xorg.conf, boots to black screen with cursor. Desktop dead.

Xorg.0.log and kern.log look O.K.
.xsession-errors shows failures, will attach to subsequent post.
Xorg.0.log.old will show which intel driver was being used.

Removed xorg.conf specifying intel in order to file this ubuntu-bug.

Anything to try or report on?

Jerry

Heya Jerry!

So here is the situation with i8xx. In current natty it is known-broken, and at this time is not considered one of our actively supported hardware platforms (which means we are not going to work on bugs on this hw any further.)

But there's some good news! Upstream is actively working on 8xx bugs, and has some kernel patches and other patches to enable the hardware with the -intel driver. Please see:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187

The upstream guys probably would really appreciate having participation from a regular i8xx tester, as you've been here at Ubuntu, so I would strongly encourage you to join the discussions upstream both on that bug report, and also on the #intel-gfx IRC channel and/or mailing lists.

My hope is that once these patches get adequately tested and validated, they'll get accepted upstream. Once they've gone upstream we'll be able to resume providing support for the 8xx hardware in Ubuntu.
