Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 Version: 2.6.32-23 Severity: important The X server involved is as far as I know xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.9.1-4.
When I install the current Squeeze on my test laptop, a Dell Latitude D505, starting kdm kill the machine. This is what happen when I start X manually when logged in via ssh: r...@pxe-test0-pre:~# X X.Org X Server 1.7.7 Release Date: 2010-05-04 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 i686 Debian Current Operating System: Linux pxe-test0-pre.uio.no 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sat Sep 18 02:14:45 UTC 2010 i686 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=/dev/mapper/vg_system-root ro quiet Build Date: 20 September 2010 03:40:46PM xorg-server 2:1.7.7-7 (Julien Cristau <[email protected]>) Current version of pixman: 0.16.4 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

I was a similar problem with Ubuntu earlier, reported at <URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/592682 >. As the workaround for Ubuntu mentioned the file /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf and changing modeset there, I tried to change the current 'modeset=1' to 'modeset=0' and ran 'update-initramfs -u' before testing a reboot, but the problem was still there. Not quite sure what more to test. Any suggestions? I'm unable to get any kernel messages from the crash. Tried tailing /var/log/syslog over ssh, but no messages showed up.
