I have the same problem, with a different Intel Graphics Controller (see attachment).
After adding 'i915.modeset=0 acpi=off' to my kernel cmdline (removing quiet and splaxh), I am able to boot into a graphical environment. But the xserver falls back to the VESA driver. I'm unsure, if I need both options, I will test that during the next reboots. I've noticed that grub2 does not display the default graphical boot screen. But, since I've reinstalled Karmic due to this bug, which replaced an existing old grub installation, I don't know, if that's due to this bug. I had to uncomment the 'GRUB_TERMINAL=console' line in /etc/default/grub. ** Attachment added: "lspci -vv -d 8086:2992" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36493727/lscpi-vv.txt -- [965gm] xorg update results in blank screen on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491856 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
