[Bug 323264] Re: display corruption after kernel update

[Leann Ogasawara]

Reassigning to xserver-xorg-video-intel.

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: linux => xserver-xorg-video-intel
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Summary changed:

- display corruption after kernel update
+ display corruption after update

** Description changed:

  Originally I have reported a Bug #321859, however, so far there were no
  solutions offered.
  
  I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 without deleting the data and creating an
  extra free space on the original Ubuntu 8.10 disk. The new partitioning
  looks like this (please see the file attached "Partitioning of baby
  laptop.tif").
  
  After installation I had the following kernels installed (please refer
  to the picture "new kernels.jpg").
  
  I was trying to boot the computer from kernel Ubuntu 8.10, kernel
  2.6.27-9-generic, which gave me an error (please refer to the picture
  attached "kernel 2.6.27-9-generic booting error.jpg").
  
  After I rebooted from the kernel 2.6.27-7-generic there were no problems
  anymore. The computer works fine and the screen is back to normal.
  
  So I assume that the problem is with the 2.6.27-9 kernel.
+ 
+ == Update ==
+ 
+ It isn't the kernel but the display driver. When you first install
+ ubuntu you need lock the version of the xserver display driver. If you
+ install the updates a new driver version will be installed which makes
+ the screen go haywire.
+ 
+ Instructions (DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLING ANY UPDATES):
+ 1. Go into Synaptic Package Manager
+ 2. Search for: xserver-xorg-video-intel
+ 3. Click Package --> Lock Version
