Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have an Acer Aspire One D250-1165 (blacklisted b43 to get it to boot)

dmesg| grep -i intel reveals:

Intel 945GME Chipset

Boots up to trying to start gdm, which fails and then drops to a
command-line login prompt.

I set up wired networking manually and sudo aptitude'd to get the
lastest packages, which includes

kernel 2.6.32-22

I downloaded read-edid and ran a get-edid|parse-edid and added that to
the failsafe xorg.conf file (which I made from the xorg.conf.failsafe
one) and edited out the other monitor settings.

All to no avail.

When I try from a root prompt

/etc/init.d/gdm start

I get a basic GUI with an error dialog saying:

Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode (and that settings couldn't be
detected blah,blah) and that I need to reconfig myself (this error
didn't change before or after my attempted manipulations).

I hit OK, and am taken to a

What would you like to do? dialog
Run ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session
Reconfigure graphics
Troubleshoot the error
Exit to console login 
Restart X

I tried the first to run in low-graphics mode.

I get dialog that states "Stand by one minute while the display
restarts" but nothing happens.

I eventually hit OK, but this just took me back to a command prompt.

Hope a work-around and fix is available soon.
