<p>Nothing is ever completely painless. At least not with software. There are regressions in software all the time. Especially Intel's graphics drivers. Ask Erica... she has a laptop with an intel chipset that only works with every other release of the Intel graphics driver because they keep regressing on the same issue. It isn't an Ubuntu-specific problem, it is an upstream problem.</p>
<p>I advise people to stay the fsck away from Intel graphocs chipsets for that reason. When they work, they're alright. When they work. However, the norm seems to be that they don't. And for that matter, its not a Linux or X.org specific thing either; they fail fantastically on Windows as well using Intel's drivers.</p>

<br>try booting into runlevel 3 and not 5 (no X) and then you can launch x manually and kill it with ctl-alt-bkspc and watch the errors. Aso check /var/log/Xorg.0.log<br>
<br>sounds like the video driver is bad or the wrong one is loaded. or the graphical boot is not unloaded before the real x starts.<p><font color="#500050"><br><br>On Sat, Jun 19, 2010 at 12:50 PM, Van Loggins <<a href="mailto:vanloggins@gmail.com">vanloggins@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
