After trying out the ubuntu9 patch, I think it mostly solved the problem for me. But I do notice one thing (and I'm not sure it's a critical thing, just a little disconcerting). When opening a new window in Firefox, the image of whatever page you were on becomes "scrambled" for about a half second; once the new window opens, though, everything is fine. It's a little annoying to click a link, and the image get messed up for that split second until the new page opens and settles down. Oh, the scrambling occurs in the new window frame, not in the old one.
Other than that, looks like the patch may have fixed the original problem quite nicely..... -- 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
