Created attachment 43147 [details] screenshot I am using acer travelMate 380 laptop, the graphic adapter is intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller. After upgrading to Natty 11.04 kernel 2.6.38.1/2, the login screen cannot display properly. and there is no way to login to the system. pls kindly see the attached screenshot there is no such problem when I use the kernal 2-6-37-12. Pls feel free to let me know if there is further information I need to provide assist to get resolve the issue. I have created an entry in launchpad at ubuntu and there is some log collected using ubuntu-bug when I booted using 2-6-37-12. I wonder if it is useful. thank you very much
sorry the URL at the launchpad is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/714634?comments=all
Add drm.debug=0xe to your grub boot parameters and attach the dmesg. Does this only happen with X or is the entire boot jumbled?
I shall do as per your instruction when I get to the machine later. Hope I understand your question correctly, the splashscreen did come up and it happened when it reached the login part. by the way, I am not using a xorg.conf now. thanks.
Created attachment 43164 [details] dmesg for jumbled screen
Created attachment 43165 [details] dmesg for good display
Hi Chris, it fixed after I applied the .38.3 this morning. thanks.
I'm not sure which actual patch it was that fixed it, so I hope it remains fixed as 2.6.38 comes out...
