[Bug 328215] [NEW] "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration" error on most startups

[Dominique Meeùs]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

New installation of Jaunty: lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release:	9.04

After the progress bar with Ubuntu logo showing correctly, I get the gdm
sound and a black screen. Ctrl+Alt+F1 gets me back to tty1 but also with
a black screen. I can verify this beeing tty1 by doing a (blind) login
followed by a "sudo shutdown -r now" (or Ctrl+Alt+Del). After some more
reboots, I got a failsafe proposal. I choose to archive the information
before going into failsafe mode. See attached file.

Among many boots, I once (only once) got a normal start up, directly gdm
(not failsafe), login and a gnome session et cetera. Upon more restarts,
sometimes failsafe but most of the time only a black screen and not even
a failsafe proposal. Such a random behaviour is hard to understand.

As a temporary workaround, I copied xorg.cong.failsafe (with the Driver
"vesa" clause) upon xorg.conf. to be able to boot and login and work
normally.
