[ubuntu] VirtualBox 4.2.4 / Thinkpad W520 Intel video problem

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I've come across what appears to be a strange problem with one of the VirtualBox host drivers. The behavior I observe is that, on the second reboot after installing VBox on Ubuntu 12.10, xorg will not start due to a drm error with the intel video driver. Here's the relevant snippet from the Xorg.1.log file: [ 397.887] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa [ 397.887] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting [ 397.887] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev [ 397.887] (II) Loading sub module "fbdevhw" [ 397.887] (II) LoadModule: &quot (Hardware)

I am trying to set up a kiosk-type system using nodm, but half the time I boot the system, X fails to load.

In Jaunty my display settings accurately gave me resolutions above 1024x768 - higher refresh rates up to 85 Hz (1024x768@85 - lesser refresh rates for higher resolutions)

Having searched the forums & tried to create & modify the xorg.conf file (in Karmic beta), I could not create any higher resolutions or refresh rates.

[xubuntu] Weird crash 38 weeks 4 days ago

Here's the problem: The Xubuntu (12.04) running on my laptop (Thinkpad T430) crash randomly, when it crashes, nothing works, Ctrl + Alt + F1~F6 fails too. I have to cut the power and reboot. I think it might be some problems with X server, but I'm not sure.

Hello. I ran the uname command and it tells me my kernel is "2.6.31-16-generic"

But when I run Update Manager, a linux kernel shows up that appears to be 2.6.31.17.30 But when I click on the check-box, nothing happens (I can't highlight it for installation).

My question is, Do I have the latest kernel with 2.6.31-16?

I put in a new ati radeon 5800 into my pc. I uninstalled xorg-x11-drv-nouveau which was used by my old video card. I installed the catalyst drivers that are needed via yum. When I boot up my pc, I'm no longer taken to kdm, but to a blank screen. This is my xorg log
