I tried with the Hardy Alpha 2 CD today, and I can confirm that the version of xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.2.0-1ubuntu1) used there does NOT fix the problem. I get the exact same symptoms - flickering screen as if the refresh rate were set incredibly low - as I did in Gutsy before applying the aforementioned patch.
This bug is a potential showstopper for some Intel 855GM users, as bug #155312 prevents the use of the old i810 drivers as a fallback, essentially rendering the system unusable unless the patch is applied. -- Incorrect refresh rate probed from bad BIOS tables in 855GM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157213 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
