Thanks, I've asked one of the X developers to follow up with you on this. Any news on this one? I didn't receive any reply on that bug for a long time. Other people in my department complains about linux being unable to make use of VGA out. I myself am the ubuntu-man of the situation and don't know what to say - it's a plain bug.

It needs tested against a git version of the driver and forwarded upstream if it still occurs.

Hello Steve, I think the following bug needs to be considered release-critical: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apturl/+bug/203538 This is about apturl, a really cool feature that was added just one or two releases ago, does not work at all in firefox 3 in hardy. It would be a shame to leave a feature that was recently successfully introduced completely broken. Additionally websites which provide apt: links would have to tell people to look which version of ubuntu they are running to see if they are able to use the links. I hope this can be added to the list.
