[Bug 458588] Re: [x-updates] X fails to start with "Cannot run in framebuffer mode" error

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  After updating to the most recent xserver-xorg-video-intel found in the
  x-swat PPA for Jaunty (uploaded on the 19th of October I think) X fails
  to start. The log contains this error:
  
  (EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)
  
  but this message is harmless and can safely be ignored. The real error
  is this one:
  
  "Cannot run in framebuffer mode"
  
  This is in fact the same as bug #383407 in Karmic.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  Create a minimal xorg.conf, for instance like this:
  
  Section "Device"
      Identifier "my-intel-card"
      Driver "intel"
  EndSection
  
  
  I'm on an IBM Thinkpad X40 laptop with an Intel 82852/855GM Integrated
  Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02)
