Comment 27 for bug 585853

I seem to be seeing this bug also. Trying Slim doesn't get past black screen after the Ubuntu loading logo.

I don't even get access to the virtual terminals, but I have SSH access from another computer and the xorg logs seem very similar to the original poster's, although it seems not to be a permissions issue. The intel driver and drm issue seems to be there...

The workaround in comment #13 works for me. Thank you very much.

Hope this can be fixed properly. Gnome 3 may be beautiful, but it's more or less useless on slower computers.
