Bug#592290: [linux-source-2.6.32] X.org does not work with Intel driver and 4GB RAM
Package: linux-source-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-18
Severity: serious
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hello everyone,
I've just realized that I still use the kernel parameter "mem=3500M" at boot time. With
this configuration everything works fine (besides the missing 500MB of RAM). When I remove
this parameter X.org fails to work properly. I have only a very distorted log-in screen
and cannot switch to any other console via ctrl+alt+F1. Since Bug #558237 was reported as
resolved I hoped that this would resolve my issues as well, but it does not.
I'm not sure how to proceed in my case. How can I test if the changes mentioned in the
upstream bug report ( http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25510 ) have reached the
Squeeze's current kernel version?
Best regards,
Matthias
