Bryce,
This comment is from CD Live on the i845 so it's working. The bug can
be closed as written from my standpoint.
Thanks for looking at it.
Jerry

On my Jaunty box, I installed only the Karmic kernel (linux-
image-2.6.30-10-generic_2.6.30-10.12_amd64.deb), and with all other
packages being Jaunty-based, I can reproduce this same problem --
keyboard and mouse lock up when X starts.

And if I switch my kernel to the one at http://kernel.ubuntu.com
/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/ (linux-
image-2.6.30-020630-generic_2.6.30-020630_amd64.deb) I cannot reproduce
the problem. X starts up just fine.

Could the switch to kernel mode switching be the cause? See:

I ran out of ideas on how to investigate this bug, so I downloaded
Alternate KarmicA2 and installed that. This is it running now. A few kinks on
the install but not bad for this level. I don't much like Alternate but it at
least boots! The desktop karmic A2's don't on this i845g.

Loaded in the wiki//backtracing, got it running, was logged in from

jerrylamos, we really need /var/log/Xorg.0.log with the intel driver. It should
not be too hard to get that off a LiveCD. If you have a USB-stick, you may copy
it there. If you have network connection you may scp or ftp it somewhere. You
may even mount a hard drive partition and copy it there.
Geir,
As soon as gdm starts it switches up a black screen and the pc stops
altogether. No keyboard keys do anything, example Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesn't do
anything, so there's no way to get into the system at all. The only key that
works is power off.
What I need is a way to start X without
Great work, Jerry. I actually misread your description in that I thought
you had access to a VT after the black screen even when running with the
intel driver. Great that you were able to get an Xorg.0.log anyway.
Usually when a black screen like that happens, the computer is not
completely dead,
Geir,
I tried a simple
xinit
which gets me a black screen with a white window at top left with:
r...@ubuntu:~#
I think that is xterm. It's followed by an empty box.
at which point nothing works. No keyboard, no cursor, nothing at all.
Dead. And of course, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work
Geir,
Tried a simple:
xinit X
which ran for a little bit, some flashing of screen, then left me with a
command line prompt. Hooray, I can do something! Attached is the
Xorg.0.log from that.
There's lots of regs dumped at the end of the log.
Anything else to try?
Jerry

Geir,
I've never done ssh before. With your hints I got it going, added Option
ModeDbug True, then did
xinit X
which locked up the mouse and keyboard.
As you suspected, ssh was still running so I got the Xorg.0.log which is
attached.
It's a bit late here. I'll try the GPU dump tomorrow.
