[q45] Eaglelake - resolution not properly detected (falls back to -vesa), not supported in Hardy

[Fabián Rodríguez]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This is on a Dell Optiplex 760, a rather recently released system.

Hardy fails to detect/support this graphic adapter with the Intel driver.

The graphics adapter properly recognizes supported resolutions of an Elotouch 2639L touchscreen in Jaunty beta, and uses the Intel driver.

In Hardy the Intel driver is not used, and when forcing it X won't start.

Ouput on Hardy:

In Bug #218671 (realted to the input part of this screen) it was mentioned the 2.5 backport of the driver is available from xorg-edgers, pehraps that would work:

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Problem is the newer eaglelake chips aren't supported in the old version of -intel included on Hardy. Using an -intel backport is probably the simplest solution:

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

Bryce, when trying to update that driver to your PPA version earlier today I was told I already had the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel.

I'll double check tomorrow.

Hi magicfab,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

[Ashwin (cybernytrix)]

It does not work for me either. Is there any solution? Thanks!
