2.6.35-20 blacklists KMS on the problematic cards. X is then supposed to fall back to vesa. If it doesn't, a bug should be filed for that. If falling back to vesa has enough problems of its own, that decision might be reversed.
i915.modeset=1 will override the blacklist, so you can always turn KMS back on with the new kernel. Also, my own graphics-fixes kernel undoes the blacklist. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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
