Public bug reported:

Hi,
When booting on a Natty live-USB on my computer, a gnome-panel like desktop is loaded instead of Unity.
It seems to be related to a problem with the intel graphics driver : the Xorg.0.log tells "(EE)open /dev/fb0 No such file or directory" and then the vesa driver is used instead.
If I create a xorg.conf file (by default there's nothing), with ' Driver "intel" ' in ' Section "Device" ', then restart X with "sudo service gdm restart", Xorg fails to load (No devices detected, Fatal server error:No screens found) and I see a command-line prompt (same result as when trying Ubuntu 10.10).
If I do the same but with the line ' Driver "vesa" ', of course it works the same as without xorg.conf. Except that Xorg.0.log shows no error at all.

Nevertheless, Ubuntu 10.04 works, with compiz effects activated ! The
intel driver is OK in Xorg.0.log . Note that at first with 10.04 I had
freezes, but they were corrected by installing compiz-fusion-icon,
selecting the "indirect rendering" option, and making this change
permanent. I can't say more.

I'm not sure what package causes the problem. Sorry also for my bad english.
Graphics card : Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
I tried every option available when booting on the live-usb (nomodeset for instance).
I also tried using another screen, which works with Ubuntu 11.04 on another computer. Same problem.

I hope it will help, thanks for your attention !
