[Peter Mansvelder <pman@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Bryce,

I ran the apport command and sent the logs; I am perfectly willing to try this on the next Ubuntu version, as this is just my home server, and there is nothing critical running on it.
One thing I should mention, though, is that I did have a problem with the modesetting, this crashed the system, and I could only resolve it by loading the i915 module with 'modeset-0'.
Following some leads in the forums and on the web, I added a file in /etc/modprobe.d:

root@foxfire:/etc/modprobe.d# cat i915-kms.conf
options i915 modeset=0

After this the crashes went away. For this, I didn't matter whether gdm
was running or not.

Peter

I only have a problem with the monitor resolution: I can't get the native resolution of 1920x1080 to work. I think it's a problem with the intel driver:
