[Bug 467841] [NEW] after first splash boot, screen flickers displaying a bunch of drm: failed to restore crtc configuration

[manu]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have a G33 MB, and I read all the reports with this problem, but even
now with karmic fully updated I cant get to X.

Oddly I used to be able by switching VT and it would finallyy start X but now it is impossible.
I tried to add i915.modeset=0 to the cmd line args, but it still flickers (I use a LCD TV on vga) with no message (well I think that my TV does not have time to sync on it). Moreover CTRL-ALT-DEL does not work - whereas it works when I used KMS.
Also I need to mention that I also get in my logs drm: connectors have no modes using standard modes though I read that it should be fixed now.
Well if I could I would shout HELP PLS ;-)
I will try to post dmesg ASAP.
