Forwarding this bug from Ubuntu reporter w074n: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/401131 [Problem] Driver detects all outputs as disabled when VGA port being used. Works okay with vesa. [Original Description] I've got a Intel G45 chipset with a X4500HD. It was installed with the vesa driver as already the desktop install cd failed to use the intel driver. So I tried to use the intel driver manually, which always resulted in the X server not starting up giving this error message: "(EE) intel(0): No valid modes.". Because of that i thought it might be related with bug #194760. Therefore I added the information about the modes to xorg.conf and still it gave the same error. Then I connected the display via VGA, not DVI and everything is working just fine. $lspci -nn | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2e22] (rev 03) Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3 ProcEnviron: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8ProcVersion: Linux version 2.6.28-13-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-video-intel Uname: Linux 2.6.28-13-generic i686
