Your test confirms that this particular problem is fixed upstream, most likely by the patch mentioned in the upstream bug report. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds for more information about the mainline kernel builds.
I don't know enough about VMWare or the kernel to tell if the VMWare problems is a bug or simply due to something ubuntu-specific which is not included in the mainline build. You may try Lucid, which currently has a kernel based on 2.6.32-rc6 (see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html). It is very early in the Lucid release cycle, so don't expect it to be stable, but if it starts all right for you and the problem is there as well, please file a bug report using `ubuntu-bug linux`. You may also have some luck trying VMWare forums with the specific error messages you get during compilation. They may tell you what the problem is. -- [Q45] 1600x1200 resolution is not available on the 2nd monitor (it was on ubuntu 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/470422 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
