[Bug 316423] Re: black screen after intrepid login intel graphics

[Geir Ove Myhr]

Great you figured out how to write to a file (`lspci -vvnn >lspci.txt` in case you did something more complicated). Xorg.0.log logs what happens from the X-server starts (just before you see the login screen) until you log out. To catch any error messages from when things go wrong we need the Xorg.0.log that is generated when you don't run in safe mode. There are a few ways to do this (I list two in case one doesn't work)
- Log in - get the blank screen (you hear the login sound), then do Ctrl+F2 to get a text login where you can copy the file to your home directory with `cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Xorg.0.log.txt`. Ctrl+F7 will take you back to the blank screen where you can Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X-server and get the login screen again.
- Log in - get the blank screen (you hear the login sound). Do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This kills the X-server and starts a new X-session and a new Xorg.0.log, but the old one is moved to /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old. You can then log in using failsafe mode and upload that file.

If you look at the file, it should have many lines starting with (II)
intel(0): as opposed to (II) VESA(0): for the failsafe one.
