[Bug 412245] [NEW] No X Video on Built-in Monitor of Dell Inspiron 1100

[Larry Reid]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On 9.04, about half the time, when cold starting or waking from suspend,
I can't get the X output on the built-in monitor of my laptop.
Sometimes, Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F7 gets the X video to work.
Sometimes Ctrl-Alf-F1 gets character video but Ctrl-Alt-F7 doesn't get X
video. Sometimes the computer is completely frozen and I have to turn it
off. (Note the "LVDS unknown connection" in the output from xrandr
below.)

On 9.10 alpha 3, it's worse. Sometimes I get as far as a GDM login and
enter my credentials and it will display the Ubuntu wallpaper but go no
farther, and Ctrl-Alt-Fn no longer works. Sometimes I don't get any X
display at all. Either way the computer is completely frozen. The Ctrl-
Alt-F7 trick doesn't work.

I'm attaching Xorg.0.log from 9.04.

lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [8086:2562] (rev 03)

xrandr

   800x600        60.3  
   640x480        59.9  

Here's the xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
EndSection

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

Let me know what else you need.
