Comment 67 for bug 431812

I just want to confirm that this bug persists, even now that the final 9.10 release is out. The workaround adding i915.modeset=0 to the boot arguments in grub works for me on my hp Pavilion dv2000. But this is a serious problem to be persisting in a final release! Given that my machine (and other experiencing the same problem) is pretty common hardware, this seems to me to be a massive barrier for people that might try to adopt Ubuntu with this release. We cannot expect users to mess with their grub arguments. In any case, as of today (Nov. 3rd) the most recent updates have not solved the issue.
