i was on your other bug report but ill post here too, since i am running an intel chipset too, on a dell inspiron 1525n. the laptop was preinstalled with ubuntu (7:10), so all the hardware should work fine and be compatible with open standards. the laptop was upgraded through 8:4, 8:10 and now 9:4. previous incarnations of ubuntu all worked fine for me. im rocking 32bit architecture.
i also get system freezes, where the mouse still responds. ctrl-alt- backspace (whihc i dontzapped) doesnt recover the system, and alt- sysreq-k takes me to a black screen where i have to hard-reset anyway. keyboard is unresponsive otherwise. the freeze happened while watching flash video's in firefox, but also when switching work-spaces, when hotplugging peripherals, when using the scale plug in... basically, its unpredictable when it will happen. im lucky though as i only freeze about twice a week. i have now turned compiz off, and am running metacity as the windows manager. this appears to have stopped me getting freezes, but i dont consider turning off services much of a bug fix. i know that theres an ugly fix with upgrading to RC kernels, but thats not much of a fix either IMHO. -- System with Intel 945GM freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384490 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
