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

[jerrylamos]

i830 on my Thinkpad R31 is only stable on Lucid if I do:
boot in recovery mode
select root prompt
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
	Driver	"vesa"
EndSection
Ctrl-o
Ctrl-x
reboot

Now I also see I have in /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 i915.nomodeset=0 quiet"

Do sudo gedit /etc/default/grub to make those changes
save
quit
sudo update-grub

I don't remember who recommended the ipb6.disable=1

Whatever, with both those it's working (but watch out for the dread
update)
