Acer Travelmate 380. Boot dies after lucid TLS upgrade

And thanks from me too... Your solution worked for my travelmate 2301LC.

Worked great for Acer Travelmate 660 (TM661LCi // Chipset - Intel 855GM ).

SOLVED!

echo options i915 modeset=1 | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u

Then reboot normally.

Thank you for your post. I still don't understand how it achieves it, but it works.

echo options i915 modeset=1 | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
Worked for me too
TravelMate 380 (382TMi) now booting with kernel 2.6.32-22.
Much much thanks.

I tried this on my Travelmate 530 to remove the annoying message (it let me get in fine, but the message at boot annoyed me). Now, when I boot I get a message about Ubuntu running in low graphics mode. The error is:

(EE)VESA: Kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to load
(EE)No devices detected.

How do I go about undoing what I did? :-S

I tried guidoorefice's method, but unfortunately it did not fix the acer-wmi, unable to load -problem and this was the first possible solution I've found after days of search. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu, and I'm trying to make this on an old Acer Aspire 3003LC -laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (LXDE desktop). Any ideas?

Works for an Acer TravelMate 660 too. Well done, Guido!
