Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I am using acer travelMate 380 laptop, the graphic adapter is intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller. After upgrading to Natty 11.04 kernel 2.6.38.1/2, the login screen cannot display properly. and there is no way to login to the system. pls see screenshot picture attached.
there is no such problem when I use the kernal 2-6-37-12.
the bug report is collected based when bootup using 2-6-37-12.
by the way, when I tried to use ubuntu-bug -p, it said the option is deprecated so I use the command without -p.
thanks you so much.
best regards,
KJ

Hi kjloh, I'm sorry you're having troubles with Ubuntu on this laptop. Unfortunately we are not providing X development support in the distro for 8xx, as we've found it to be too labor intensive to provide development support for these older chipsets directly in the distro. Instead, I would recommend you work directly with upstream by filing a bug report at https:/
It sounds like you have a good lead on this being a regression between .37 and .38, which is a very strong clue. You may be able to do a git bisect to the kernel to locate the offending patch. If you do, then share this info with upstream, which will help them identify the flaw and get the fix into a future upstream release that we can pull in for Ubuntu. (We probably won't backport i855 fixes, since we've tended to find it can lead to unexpected regressions, but we will take i855 fixes via new upstream releases.)
