They already fixed it in Maverick! As of now I am using the Maverick backported kernel(2.6.35-19)! Haven't got any problems so far; works better than 2.6.33 with the `i915.modeset=1 or 0` parameter. I run most games on highest graphics mode.(with the previous kernel doing so would cause the games to cras) So just get the Maverick kernel and enjoy Ubuntu! -- [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think my problem is relevant to this. Currently on Lenny 10.04, works out of the box fine on my 855M but updated to backport kernel 2.6.32 to get my wireless card working. Right after I login in from gdm, my desktop image loads, then I get a beep (and a kernel oops, messages attached) and X just stops, with no disk activity. Selecting the old kernel from GRUB works fine. I also tried compiling 2.6.36-rc3 and gives the same problem.

I had the same problems (X doesn't start unless i915.modeset=1 system crash when playing a video with VLC) with a Samsung X05 and an Acer Travelmate 4001LMi. The first problem was solved this way (in both computers): - start with Live CD and i915.modeset=1, install the system, not reset at the end and do: - Menu System Administration Disk Utility, mount the disk in which we have installed the system, $ cd /media/tab/etc/default $ sudo cp grub grub.bak $ sudo pico grub - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash i915.modeset=1 $ cd /media/tab/boot/grub $ sudo cp grub.cfg grub.cfg.bak $ sudo pico grub.cfg - look for 'quiet splash' and add i915.modeset=1 at the end (without quotes). - reset without CD, - update system, - update grub: $ sudo update-grub - reset done! The second problem was fixed by upgrading the kernel like explained in: - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes Another problem with the Acer Travelmate is that it doesn't shut down completely, which is an issue related with another bug.

Laptop Dell D400 latitude Graphics Card VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) I upgraded from V9.10 and hit this graphics card problem. Needed to use the boot option i915.modeset=1 to get the graphics working - without this had the black screen problem mentioned earlier in the post. Still have problems playing videos but that is not a big problem for me. -- [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Had the same problem. My Acer TravelMate 662 laptop (Intel 855GM) refused to boot with Lucid. Adding boot option i915.modeset=1 fixed this problem. Afterwards I was experiencing X crashes when playing videos with totem. Installing the mainline kernel 2.6.33.3 provided by Ubuntu finally fixed all my problems, even the X crashes: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33.3-lucid/ -- [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@ yannis, While I didn't use the LiveCD I did a clean install on Saturday with the AlternateCD, and also the MiniCD (I have 2 separate systems on 1 laptop) and they were ok.

@ k3lt01 yes i know, but the reason i pointed that page out again is because the driver related info is at very end and i believe like many others i completely missed it when i saw that page for the first time. i would like to point out that i am still facing problems with the video. sometimes a video plays fine but at other times system completely locks up with a black screen and nothing works and i cant even log into other tty's (pressing Cltr+Alt+'F1/F2/F3) from what i have read this has something to do with the memory allocations. i havent checked if system is accessible through ssh at those times as i had papers to submit. i will check once if the crash happens again. p.s sorry for the late reply but i was on winxp for sometime due to paper as open office refused to open my .doc files -- [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

good news good people after the recent driver upgrade in lucid, everything works fine with intel 855GM videos do not make system crash anymore as well as desktop effects can be enabled now. :) but the i915.modeset=1 has still to be enabled in the grub boot options for the latest kernel. -- [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

okey i did a fresh install of lucid beta. only changes i had to make in order to boot successfully into the system with the latest kernel i.e. 2.6.32-21 was to set the option i915.modeset=1 in the grub menu. thnx for all the help btw i also came across this at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Working%20around%20bugs%20in%20the%20new%20kernel%20video%20architecture Intel 8xx X freezes/crashes The -intel driver fails with X freezes or crashes on certain i8xx hardware. The issue is known upstream but solutions are still under development. For now, to work around the issue, boot with the -vesa video driver.

i guess the i915.modeset=1 works for me also but the problem i am facing is that i run into one or two more possible bugs rite after it. these bugs from what i understand after going through various posts and trying many workarounds posted are present in either plymouth or fsck or sysvinit or mountall or all of them and have been reported in Bug #554079 Bug #556372 Bug #554737 Bug #559761. after trying so many workarounds for various packages i dont know anymore what all exact changes i have made. one of the possible reasons i am facing these bugs together is that i did an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 alpha. the plymouth dependency problem just makes it difficult to fix the problem as trying to remove it results in complete removal of the desktop environment. i think plymouth should atleast be made optional for headless server systems till all the bugs are combed out. i have been booting into safe graphics from recovery option in grub and that seems to be the only way to boot into it. i hope a fresh install fixes these issues. i will try and post back. -- [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

i am facing the same issue. i haven't tried the solution posted here but i can use my system with the older kernel and also in the recovery mode and starting x in safe mode looks as good as normal i was thinking maybe it was a driver issue as i am also not able to play video files in full screen, all of them get stuck... but they play fine if played in the defualt window size, could this also be related to the changes in the new kernel or should i file a new bug report. also in have not been able to turn on desktop effects since i moved to lucid beta. -- [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
