Comment 9 for bug 572868

Just to confirm that adding i915.modeset=1 also helped me. I am using Dell Inspiron 500m with integrated graphics: Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller. My splash screen looks normal. I also have no problem with my wireless connection. I booted from a live USB (32-bt version).

Without the i915 setting, if I turn off the splash screen (Esc during splash), I could see that the system freezes after printing *Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd". However, I did not find any useful help after searching for the related issue. In the end, I get the ubuntu 10.04 running only by adding the i915 setting.
