** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel My laptop uses the Intel 945GM graphics card and while under Hardy and the "i810" driver it worked flawlessly, the Intrepid install has made a large regression. When I first installed 8.10, it set my Xorg video driver to "vesa" instead of "intel". Under "vesa" I could not get graphics acceleration. After manually switching it to "intel" it would not load the gnome display and after I logged in it would crash and take me back to the login screen. By reading around, I found that some were able to fix this problem when they removed "compiz" and "compiz-core" or disabled them completely. That worked for me, but it is an inconvenience. Also, when the driver is loaded before the login screen, it changes different shades of blackness for about 2 seconds before loading the login screen, where in Hardy under the "i810" driver it did not do so. With "compiz" removed, I am able to get acceleration (as can be seen by successfully playing "openarena"), yet the lack of "compiz" is a major setback for the upgrade, which overall went smoothly. + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub [8086:27a0] (rev 03) + Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:ff00] + 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03) + Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:ff02]
