[Bug 554023] Re: gdm fails to start

 

Odd - your dmesg+with_drm.debugAndKVM file doesn't actually have any
output from the intel driver *at all*.  It doesn't even appear to try to
load.  I'm not sure what to make of that.

The problem that you're seeing here is in the kernel - by default, the
i915 kernel module is responsible for monitor detection and modesetting,
which is what's going wrong here.  We can go two ways: try out the
modesetting code in the xserver-xorg-video-intel DDX by passing
“nomodeset” to the kernel command line, or try to pin down which kernel
broke modesetting for you.

You can get previous kernels from
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux

It might be worth trying both options :)
