Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

The LiveCD of Hardy Heron RC get a blank (black) screen once it has entered into graphics mode. The same happens with the LiveCD Gutsy.

The computer still works, I can hear the start sound of GDM, and I can log in from GDM, but I just can't see anything on the screen.

I installed Hardy through an Alternate CD and I tried to run a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but without success.

With the Feisty's LiveCD the problem does not occur. By viewing the xorg.conf I noticed Feisty uses the i810 driver.

Changing the xorg.conf in Hardy and forcing the use of "i810" driver the problem does not occur. Using the drivers "intel" the problem reoccurs.
