RAWR! The new Intel video driver is buggy.

[Starks]

It works, but only in a not-so-low-graphics mode through BulletproofX.

works completely: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu11
works somewhat: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.5.1-1ubuntu1

os[Linux 2.6.28-rc5-candela i686]

distro[Ubuntu "jaunty" 9.04]

cpu[2 x Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2050 @ 1.60GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1.60GHz]

mem[Physical: 995.8MB, 55.8% free] disk[Total: 128.0GB, 72.6% free]

video[Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller]

sound[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel]

Install libdrm-intel1.
You will find it is quite slow when it actually is working.

Heh. Unmarked dependency.

Hmmm. New xv output modes. Nice.

But I still want my GEM!

I just hope the GEM benchmarks that said "30% increase in overall speed, 50% increase in texture speeds" weren't based on this particular release.

e: I reported the unmarked dependency (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/303177).

I am guessing this is the reason why my X wouldn't start .

This is from my /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Also put my comment on the bug as well.

Update :- I got the login screen but my keyboard was out . So its back to going to recovery, and hoping one of the updates will fix that :)

Seems we need a new Mesa and a new kernel for the circle to complete. I dunno when we will have both these things.

Also it would be interesting to see how well it works with an ancient integrated graphics chip such as mine.

I have a working machine,(sound works as well) but things are a bit 'jumpy' and high CPU usage.
