[Bug 311394] [NEW] xserver-xorg-video-intel doesn't work on i915 chipset

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hello,
I'm having problem with Intel video driver on Ubuntu 8.10. 
My hardware is notebook Asus M6A with i915 chipset with integrated graphics controller.
LCD has resolution 1280x800.

Xorg won't start with intel driver - Xorg quits with message:
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found

(Xorg.log is attached)


My xorg.conf config:
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection


I'm suspecting the package xserver-xorg-video-intel to be broken.
The only chance to run Xorg on this laptop is to use "vesa" driver with 800x600 which is crazy. 

This change came with 8.10 release -  8.04 works fine with intel driver
(including correct resolution and compiz).

I saw a few similar threads for this bugs for other distros - to make
long story short downgrade to intel-2.3.7 usually helped. I couldn't try
this because of dependencies.

Thanks,
Michal
