Sorry, cdir, the short answer to most of these questions is "I don't know".
There is probably a log of the installation somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. There used to be some useful information in /var/log/installer, but after the security hole a while back where the password of the first created user was logged for everyone to see, it looks like it has been removed. I don't know the details of this. The reason that `dpkg -phigh xserver-xorg-video-intel` resets the driver to "vesa" is that it is registred in the debconf database. I know next to nothing about debconf, but it should be possible to reset that value somehow if you wish to (or unsetting is which is probably what you want to do here). I knew absolutely nothing about it before researching this issue, so you may learn a bit if you read up a bit, starting with `man 7 debconf`. > and can you help me to know where i can see the intel driver list > compatibility and recomendation for each card? there are a few drivers > that could be working? where can i see the diferences betwen them? I think there's only the intel driver and the vesa driver. Your chipset (GM45) is so new that there are still quite a number of bugs in the intel driver. The vesa driver is generic and do not use any special features of the graphics cards. It does not use any of the hardware acceleration that is available (this is why it always works). -- [i945] intel video card automatically detected on live cd, but not on the installed system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335512 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
