I used a slightly different patch to prevent doing the x probe. I enabled the ddc probe when the driver is intel. $RES gets set and prevents the x probe. I made a new CD and the installation went OK. The screen was readable during the complete installation, no more colored blocks.
After installation the system rebooted normally and X was started with the correct resolution (still using the patched xserver-xorg-core from bug 144956) ** Attachment added: "Brute force patch to use ddc probe and stop corruption on Intel laptops" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9525483/xresprobe.patch2 -- Alternate install of Tribe-4 corrupts video display when installing packages (affected hardware includes Santa Rosa) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
