OK, I did install the legacy xserver-xorg-video-intel and put i915.modeset=0 in grub. The system now crashes on boot: I'm getting a black screen instead of the login dialog. The mailing list protested when I tried attaching the logs so I will be putting them on-line on http://bojan.3e.pl/ubuntu . You can find the part from syslog there. $ lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) $ uname -a Linux sinkpad 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:22:14 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux -- Ubuntu-x mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
