Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Since upgrading from 8.10 to Jaunty, my text consoles now display a corrupted version of the usplash screen state (with green and blue lines near the top, consistently), rather than the expected text login.

usually a bug in the kernel drm driver..

or rather the cooperation of kernel and userland. Wonder if just updating the X driver would solve it.

Similar looking bug 304136 is just fixed. Could you reproduce this with current Jaunty?

The previous user set this to confirmed, but as far as I can tell this is fixed in Jaunty. Should this be set to fixed, or can someone still reproduce it?

Changed to main repository and installed all available updates. After a restart the problem still appears with intel driver.

When trying to fix some MTRR issue (or at least what I think could be an issue) I managed to get the ttys working again, the details can be found in bug 314928.

Isn't there already an upstream bug report? I haven't found one but if so then it is time to move it upstream.

Using the packages from https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive also fixes that issue for me, so probably it has already been fixed upstream.

Maybe it was random but the patch from report Bug #312849 seems to fix this problem too.

Sounds like the issue is fixed for everyone. Matt, is it fixed for you as well? If not, please reopen.
