Comment 24 for bug 471844

Today, 12/10/2009, I updated my Karmic test system to the most recent versions of all software, including X and the kernel. During this process, I released all holds on the jaunty version of xserver-xorg-video-intel. I am sad to report that gdm remained in the restart loop (despite the fact that I thought I saw a changelog indicating that this problem was fixed). Once I broke out of the gdm service and started x from the console, x seemed to function okay, except that I'm still getting errors with the DRM device. These error persisted even after I added the xswat x updates to my software sources. For my main system, for now, I must remain with the hold, using the jaunty version of xserver-xorg-video-intel. Please let me know if I can provide further information.
