For now, I have restored usability to my system by downgrading the xserver-xorg-video-intel package to a jaunty version. I used the following method:
1) Downloaded: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27624866/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3_i386.deb 2) sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3_i386.deb 3) sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3 4) echo "xserver-xorg-video-intel hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections 5) Verified hold by issuing: apt-get -s upgrade (Source: http://tech.akom.net/archives/45-Upgrading-to-Ubuntu-9.10 -Karmic-Koala-breaks-X-xorg-on-intel-driver-on-945G-chipset.html) I was able to re-enable gdm, my text consoles work now, the font corruption has gone away, the crashes from changing the desktop background are gone and the 10 second delays seen when switching between windows are gone. I still don't have dri, but I do have a usable desktop now. -- X crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
