Hi,

I am running ubuntu 9.10 on Sony vaio z11. I followed the instructions to install poulsbo driver for 3d support at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo

It did not work for me and I could only boot with save mode and only when i915 is in the blacklist.

To revert the changes I uninstalled all psb packages modules except psb-kernel-headers which gives an error "subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1" when I try to uninstall it.


I changed the xorg-conf back to original (no NVIDIA).

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection


Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection


When i915 in the blacklist.conf X can start in safe mode only.
DRM log is:

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.


Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.

When i915 is NOT in the blacklist X does not start

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the problem and go back to the original 9.10 configuration (without 3d support)?

thank you in advance,
