** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel Just installed Karmic from RC desktop CD. Install goes fine, the live CD boots and X works with no issues in the install process. Once the install is finished, we go for first reboot. All seems normal until GDM tries to load. At this point in time, I get the mouse cursor and sometimes de loading icon, and the screen looses signal and the same thing starts over again in an infinie loop. At a guess, I'd say xorg crashes when launched by GDM. Immediate consequence is that I can not finish the install of Karmic on this machine (that's using ubuntu since years) so it's critical. If I trigger it just before gdm tries to load, I can get into a terminal. I've tried successfully to run 'startx', there Gnome loads up. All attempts to restart GDM result into the same infinite loop. Since the i915 module doesn't seem to be correctly loaded, I tried Insmod like this : insmod -f /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko. Returns error "-1 Unknown symbol in module". modprobe i915 returns a Fatal error : "Error inserting i915 (/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko): No such device. My guess is that there is something wrong in that package. + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface [8086:2560] (rev 03) + Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
