I have similar problems in Kubuntu intrepid: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) Release: 8.10 Codename: intrepid $ uname -a Linux galar3 2.6.27-3-generic #1 SMP Wed Sep 10 16:02:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
The graphics card is an Intel 965GM; the relevant part of lscpi is as follows: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Booting with "video=intelfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED],accel,hwcursor" as suggested in the intelfb documentation gives the following: $ dmesg | grep intelfb Sep 13 01:04:45 galar3 kernel: [ 1.887112] intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/915GM/945G/945GM/965G/965GM chipsets Sep 13 01:04:45 kernel: [ 1.887177] intelfb: Version 0.9.5 Sep 13 01:04:45 kernel: [ 1.887274] intelfb 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Sep 13 01:04:45 kernel: [ 1.887330] intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R) 965GM, aperture size 256MB, stolen memory 7932kB Sep 13 01:04:45 kernel: [ 1.887392] intelfb: cannot acquire agp Loading the intelfb module after boot up gives the following: $ sudo rmmod intelfb $ sudo modprobe intelfb mode=1280x800-16 accel=1 hwcursor=1 Sep 13 01:46:14 galar3 kernel: [ 729.428154] intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/915GM/945G/945GM/965G/965GM chipsets Sep 13 01:46:14 kernel: [ 729.428171] intelfb: Version 0.9.5 Sep 13 01:46:14 kernel: [ 729.428269] intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R) 965GM, aperture size 256MB, stolen memory 7932kB Sep 13 01:46:14 kernel: [ 729.436525] intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( LVDS port ).

Also, the uvesafb fails miserably, trying "video=uvesafb:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" at boot gives " uvesafb: Unknown parameter `mode'". modinfo uvesafb gives the correct parameter name as "mode_option", so next boot is with "video=uvesafb:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; which gives: Sep 13 02:22:24 kernel: [ 6.896009] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=1) Sep 13 02:22:24 kernel: [ 6.896063] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22 Sep 13 02:22:24 kernel: [ 6.896113] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22 Also, the helper v86d is in the initram used by this kernel: $ zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-3-generic | cpio -t | grep v86d sbin/v86d If any more information is required I'd be happy to provide it. -- Intelfb completely b0rken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
