[Bug 447892] Re: [i855gm] Freeze shortly after X startup on Intel i855

 

On Dell Latitude D400 laptop, with 1GB RAM.
Initiated an upgrade, from 8.04lts to 10.04.1lts, a few days ago.
Uses the Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME graphics controller.

After the upgrade was completed:
At the end of the boot process, while the X-server is started, I get a blank screen and everything freezes.
To alleviate the problem I switched from using the Intel driver to the vesa driver (8-bit depth) by modifying the xorg.conf file and rebooting. That allows me to boot fine, but the graphics experience isn't pretty.

To alleviate the graphics problem I reinstalled the Intel drivers from the PPA. I used the following overview page: https://edge.launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/aubergine
The reinstallation of the Intel driver made NO difference to the situation.
