I agree with the above two posters. Closing this bug because of "lack of comments from the original poster" is just wrong. I am using the Ibex beta LiveCD and STILL am having problems with this bug. Intel is the ONLY gpu manufacturer in the WORLD with a 100% open source driver and YET I still have soooooo many problems with intel gpu's under Ubuntu it makes me sick to my stomach. I am experiencing a black screen with Ibex with a "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller". Why is this? Why can this bug not be fixed? As I already stated, Intel is the only vendor with a 100% open source driver yet I am STILL unable to get this chipset to work correctly under Ubuntu.

What info do you need to fix this bug? I am willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that Ubuntu has a correctly working GM965 device driver. Tell me what to do or what info you need me to give you in order to help with this. An Intel GPU should work OUT-OF-THE-BOX on EVERY SINGLE LINUX DISTRO IN EXISTENCE. It doesn't work with Ubuntu, no matter what I try. I'm a community member who is willing to work with Ubuntu to solve this problem. Help me to help you. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
