[Bug 542208] Re: Please blacklist i830 from Kernel mode-setting

[Nathaniel Wilson]

I am having problems with the 830m chipset in my dell 2600, using the
release version of lucid.  adding "i915.modeset=0" does not solve
anything, nor does "nomodeset." (using both doesn't work either.)
Plymouth is flickering like crazy and kind of looks like an old TV set
with a loose connection, and when it gets to the desktop it looks like
just a small part of it is visible but stretched out, and there are
several horizontal lines through it.  The colors are way off as well.

As described above is what happens with the live CD.  I tried installing
with wubi, and that won't even load GDM without spitting out errors all
over the place.  I'll try a few things like updating firmware and I'll
try to pull some logs out of this mess.
