Unfortunately, the CDROM and HD in my laptop are now both broken. However, I've wired it up as an LTSP thin client and I can't repro the bug so I think it is fixed. Until I reinstalled as a thin client, I was running with the Pipe A workaround so I don't know exactly when the fix arrived.

I've upgraded to Intrepid 2 days ago. I'm seeing the same symptoms (black screen with x cursor). I can log in (through the Display Manager), and the mouse pointer changes to normal, but the black screen remains... Pipe-A does help, but I've got massive screen corruption after a while.

Aha, then it sounds like we could potentially put in a Pipe-A quirk to force it to work this way. However, the fact that this makes VGA out not work is somewhat troubling in terms of SRUing it to Hardy.

Bryce, upstream have a patch that they claim may help. Please will you build a deb including that patch? I've had a crack at building it myself but I haven't succeeded. I tried to follow the instructions at http://wiki.debian.org/XTips but the merge from the Debian repo to the upstream repo failed in a lot of places and I don't have the experience with this codebase to do a proper merge.

On the Hardy beta live CD: First attempt with rac763634: - Installed the deb via dpkg -i, dpkg claimed it was a downgrade from 2.2.1-1ubuntu5 to 2.2.0+git (may just be the naming convention for pre-releases) - Logged out of the live CD and zapped X - X restarted but gave a blank screen - checked the X log from a VT, it was using the VESA driver rather than intel - added Driver intel to xorg.conf - restarted X - saw the mouse pointer for a couple of seconds then it went blank and I had to reboot (couldn't VT switch SysRq-S and SysRq-U seemed to work but SysRq-B hung with garbage onscreen) I've had problems before where once the VESA driver has loaded, loading another driver crashes X. Second attempt with rac763634: - installed - edited xorg.conf to add Driver intel - restarted X - 12:45 got desktop as expected - 12:59 noticed blank screen - moved mouse, got mouse pointer over black screen - VT switched, screen returned to normal. -- [Gutsy, Hardy] Black screen with mouse pointer on i830, intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207881 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

[Bug 207881] Re: [Gutsy, Hardy] Black screen with mouse pointer on i830, intel driver
Weird. But I've seen where doing a VT switch can bring a system back to sanity. Thanks for attaching your Xorg.0.log. It looks like your hardware is: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] rev 3 [chip 8086,3577 card 1179,ff00] No other obvious errors jump out though. But the 830 is a pretty old chipset. We have seen a lot of issues with i8xx chips when using the new -intel driver, and have worked with Intel to fix a lot of them, particularly i855; it wouldn't surprise me that there is additional work to be done for the old i830. Fwiw, we're still including the i810 driver in Hardy since we know some old chips like yours work better with it than with intel; however we plan to deprecate i810 in Intrepid so would like to help you solve the issue so you can use intel going forward. The first step is to test some newer versions of intel. I've built a handful of git snapshots from upstream for you to try out: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/bisect/ Try the newest version at the top of the page, and maybe one or two other picked at random. If you find it does not solve it, then the next step would be to file this bug upstream. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- [Gutsy, Hardy] Black screen with mouse pointer on i830, intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207881 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

In Gutsy, I cannot VT switch but if I ssh into the box and temporarily start a new X server and then kill it, that restores the original screen (possibly because it causes a VT switch). -- [Gutsy, Hardy] Black screen with mouse pointer on i830, intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207881 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
