[Bug 566379] Re: [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1

[madmax1735]

okey i did a fresh install of lucid beta.

only changes i had to make in order to boot successfully into the system
with the latest kernel i.e. 2.6.32-21 was to set the option

i915.modeset=1

in the grub menu.


thnx for all the help

btw i also came across this at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Working%20around%20bugs%20in%20the%20new%20kernel%20video%20architecture

Intel 8xx X freezes/crashes

The -intel driver fails with X freezes or crashes on certain i8xx
hardware. The issue is known upstream but solutions are still under
development. For now, to work around the issue, boot with the -vesa
video driver. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes for
further details.
