Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

i have installed 10.04(1) without any problem. the 915GM card is working "out off the box" with the intel card driver.
i decided to also try the 10.10 desktop. this one only launched the GDM at low performance (vesa). removing vesa driver results is no graphical boot. i added the X-swat sources to get that latest video driver.... no improvement.
the xorg log - "PCI" line does not mention my video card name (only the id and the revision) which is find odd..
anything i can try next ?

Hey code2k,

Thanks for your interest in Ubuntu.

Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is still an issue for you?

If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us? Go to the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the status column and set to 'Fix Released'.

If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set the status to 'Invalid'.

If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply to this email saying so. (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.) If you are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also run 'apport-collect <bug-number>' while running natty, which will add fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team to look at.

The i915.ko was not compiled into your initramfs. You need to rebuild it.
