[Bug 447427] Re: [i945] No screens found / none have usable configuration on Intel 945GM

(notice says this is a duplicate but I couldn't see anything linking
this to a duplicate bug, hence my post. Apologies if this causes a
problem).

I had exactly the same problem. I fixed it by:

1 - Uncommenting

  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main 
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main

in my sources.list file.

2 - run synaptic, Reload, and then search for the xserver-xorg-video-intel module. Highlight it and then go to the menu item 
   Package/Force version

I selected the 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3 (jaunty updates)

and then selected 'install'

this ran, i rebooted, and everything is back to normal.

I think I may have been using the xorg-edgers and x-updates PPAs for
compiz (can't remember - longer than a month ago!), but I don't use
compiz any more (gone back to metacity with compositing) so can't say if
it breaks compiz.
