In my ongoing quest to bring the latest news about Xorg and its hatred of the Intel 830m chipset that I have on three laptops, today I'm running a long filesystem check in gParted on the Parted Magic 4.9 live CD.

I have HP ProBook 4530s laptop with AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics card.

about Ubuntu 12.04, but possibly affecting more. after some updates of middle of last week, xserver-xorg-video-intel frequently causes crash of xorg, such that keyboard doesnt work, only the mouse cursor can be moved around.

The following packages will be REMOVED: xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-input-wacom xserver-xorg-video-all xserver-xorg-video-apm xserver-xorg-video-ark xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-chips xserver-xorg-video-cirrus xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-i128 xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-

Hi,

i recently got an Asus laptop with intel core i3-350m and hence the integrated (on cpu) intel graphics.

it was a real nightmare for me to even install opensuse 11.2 as i would get the black screen when X is about to start, until i managed to set the video driver to vesa.

As I remember, all the time, after fresh-installing Ubuntu on my HP ProBook 4530s, the Radeon graphics doesn't work, it uses Intel Sandybridge Mobile instead.

Im having tearing occur at the top 5% of the screen with an intel onboard graphics when playing HD video during motion.

I am trying to update my graphics driver by running:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

But I keep getting this message:

Some packages could not be installed.

I have a MotionComputing M1400 pen tablet. It runs Debian Squeeze, and today I noticed it was using software rendering for OpenGL, so I decided to try to use the intel driver. My chipset is the Intel 855GM. When I initially installed Debian, I had to modify xorg.conf so it would pick up my pen. That /etc/X11/xorg.conf is here.
