I agree that switching back to -i810 is a possible way to resolve the issue. However, one other aspect to consider:
After installation, we do not have any mechanism to automatically switch people from one driver to another. -intel may not work as well as -i810 in this particular situation, however -i810 is legacy and no longer being developed or maintained upstream. Thus, if we stick with -intel even if it is buggy, at least we can push out future -intel updates from upstream to users. However, if we revert to -i810 to solve this particular bug, then that will be the end of it; we'll not likely be able to supply any further changes for those users. I talked with Jesse about this issue last week, and he said the Intel devs were planning a meeting for this week to plan how to solve the bugs with -intel. I don't expect to see a fix from upstream immediately, but perhaps within a few weeks. Given this, I'm on the fence about whether it's a good idea to switch back to i810. -intel addresses a number of problems, that we'd be returning to if we switched to i810, and then would really have no viable way of addressing until Hardy. -- laptop hangs when switching video mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
