[Bug 412245] [NEW] No X Video on Built-in Monitor of Dell Inspiron 1100

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On 9.04, about half the time, when cold starting or waking from suspend,
I can't get the X output on the built-in monitor of my laptop.
Sometimes, Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F7 gets the X video to work.
Sometimes Ctrl-Alf-F1 gets character video but Ctrl-Alt-F7 doesn't get X
video. Sometimes the computer is completely frozen and I have to turn it
off. (Note the "LVDS unknown connection" in the output from xrandr
below.)

On 9.10 alpha 3, it's worse. Sometimes I get as far as a GDM login and
enter my credentials and it will display the Ubuntu wallpaper but go no
farther, and Ctrl-Alt-Fn no longer works. Sometimes I don't get any X
display at all. Either way the computer is completely frozen. The Ctrl-
Alt-F7 trick doesn't work.

I'm attaching Xorg.0.log from 9.04.

Let me know what else you need.
