I have the same problem with Dell Inspiron 700m which also uses the i855GM chip - it worked fine with the i810 driver so long as I used the i955 fix which would change the resolution to 1280x800 for me. The new Intel driver gives me correct resolution out of the box but I get the same "black screen of death" experiences that are unrecoverable by anything other than power cycling.
I've seen them a) when logging out and b) when trying to hibernate. I have tried both with and without the frame buffer option in xorg.conf. It seems that if I reboot, login and logout immediately it sometimes works, otherwise it will fail and I have to power cycle. If I turn off the desktop effects the problem is much less common but I've still seen it - especially trying to hibernate or suspend. -- xserver-xorg-video-intel hangs the system when laptop lid is closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138256 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
