Hi Peter,

Thanks for attaching the logs.  I note this in your dmesg:

[  263.278247] mtrr: no MTRR for d0000000,7b0000 found
[ 1016.285214] [drm] Module unloaded

[ 1029.649353] [drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring head forced to zero ctl ffffffff head ffffffff tail ffffffff start ffffffff

[ 1029.649598] [drm:i915_driver_load] *ERROR* failed to init modeset

So it seems that for some reason the drm driver in the kernel (which is
where monitor resolution logic resides nowadays) is failing to load
properly.  Without that in place, X can't load up.

There's been bugfixes to the -intel driver between maverick and natty,
so I think you probably should test against natty.  I think you can do
sufficient testing by just booting one of the natty daily cd's.

- I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a foxconn motherboard with intel built-in graphics; I have an IIyama Prolite 2250MTS touchscreen attached, and the touch function work flawlessly (kudos for that!). 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: 
- - when I startup gdm, X crashes with an error message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: 
- [248211.694] (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
- [248211.702] (EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected.
- [248211.702] (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
- [248211.702] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

  The only way to start up is to make a basic xorg.conf with the lines:
  Section "Device"
-         Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
-         Driver          "vesa" # Change this to the driver you want
+         Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
+         Driver          "vesa" # Change this to the driver you want
  EndSection
  
  Section "Monitor"
-         Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
+         Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
  EndSection
  
  Section "Screen"
-         Identifier      "Default Screen"
-         Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
-         Device          "Configured Video Device"

+         Monitor         "Configured Monitor"

  EndSection
  
  This was X starts up, with resolutions up to 1600x1200, but not with the native resolution of 1920x1080.
