Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
In Gutsy, things were working (well, honestly, did test about 5 mins). Then upgraded to Hardy (manually replaced 'gutsy' by 'hardy' in /etc/sources.list, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade). Now, windows open, but whatever I do, nothing change on the screen. Suppose I open Applications/Accessoires/Editeur de texte, then type a line in the editor, nothing would appears. But then, if I Ctrl-Alt-F3, then Alt-F7, my line of text is there. Scroll bars do nothing either, except if I go to a console, then return with Alt-F7. Buttons don't really appears. Really, nothing update inside windows. Even when going to a console with Ctrl-Alt-F3, screen was remaining black. I had first tried to install Gutsy xserver-xorg-video-intel .deb binary package, ignoring conflicts, but that was a bad idea, xorg not able to start, switch the Failsafe mode. Things were updating fine in VESA, but resolution was limited to 800x600. I then reinstalled old /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1 on /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then replaced 'intel' by 'i810' as "driver", then tried to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. But Ctrl-Alt- Backspace did not seemed to really take my changes into account. So I rebooted and it was fine (high resolution again). And screen update normally. Summary: using i810 is a workaround for screen not updating anymore I have a i945GZ chipset. Was having current version: 2:2.1.1-4ubuntu2 of xserver-xorg-video-intel. I may try to get source, try to learn how to build it, and try to find which version exactly cause problems. But it may take me some days. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Screen is not updated anymore + Screen is not updated anymore (Hardy, i945GZ) -- Screen is not updated anymore (Hardy, i945GZ) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162379 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
