Hard to say. I would be fine running Trusty there already... But I discovered an issue with ACPI - ACPI tables won't parse (actually, the last release that works is 13.03 raring) -> ACPI is not working -> no ATX power-off , no display power management (DPMS) -> major usability setback
I guess it depends on the complexity of the backport compared to the complexity of figuring out the ACPI issue, then? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071868 Title: X11 segfaults on WM start, ATI 3|D Rage IIC [regression] Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Fist off - it's "ATI 3D Rage IIC AGP (rev 7a)" of course. I changed it to 3|D to stop the bugbot from adding the wrong threeD tag After upgrade to oneiric, X11 segfaults on WindowManager start. Tried pekwm and fluxbox so far. Fell free to suggest any other WM for testing. (Except for those that would pull over 0.5Gig of junk in deps) X11 itself seems to start fine.
