[Bug 302006] [NEW] Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD appears to breaks Intel GM965/GL960 video card permanently

[David Dean]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

After using the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD on my day-old Satellite Pro S200 the
video card (or LCD monitor) has broken permanently.

Now only the top half of the screen displays correctly, and the bottom
half is just random lines.

I have attached a lspci -vnn I managed to get using the console TTYs on
the live CD.

Everything was working properly until the video mode was changed during
booting of the Live CD, and now the video card appears to be permanent
broken (i.e. it doesn't work in bios, boot-up, windows or the live cd. I
don't have a monitor to check whether it would work with one
unfortunately.

I'm planning on returning this computer to the store tomorrow as it may
just be a one-off hardware issue, but I am reporting it here in case it
isn't a one-off issue.
