[Bug 447892] Re: [i855GM] Freeze shortly after X startup on Intel i855

 

I've tried both kernels, and it does not seem to have any effect. The
machine starts, then X starts into low graphics mode and a window opens,
telling me that the Intel driver is complaining about no kernel
modesetting support. I have not made further experiments if I can get it
to initialise somehow, though I have no idea what to try anyway. And I
have also no idea how kernel mode setting is connected to ACPI, although
it seems to be the case, apparently.

Note: "run in low graphics mode for one session" does not seem to work
as expected, either. If I select it, I get a window "stand by one minute
while the display restarts...", and then exactly nothing happens, until
I actively click that window away. Then X closes, and everything starts
on square one, with the same error message I mentioned earlier.
