It is not hardware, again my only real memory of exact occurrence is going back through the mails before the summer.
Back in June on ubuntu 11.04 it stopped when I went to 5.3.3. Then you (wookey) built 5.3.7 for debian, so I moved to debian, but with no luck. I was on the noveau driver then. 5.3.8 appeared quickly afterwards, but this did not help and I ran out of time to move from noveau driver. Well now I have had the time to install the NVIDIA drivers, but has not helped. And I am reasonably sure that aven did not work either, and it was the upgrade to 1.2 that sorted that, but I would not bet my life on it. thanks Andrew On 10/11/11 18:08, Wookey wrote: > +++ Andrew Atkinson [2011-10-20 16:55 +0100]: >> Hello all >> >> I started on this problem before the summer, but then I went away >> for a few weeks.
