The good news is with today's 20090704 update karmic 2.6.31-1 boots and runs on i830 on this Thinkpad R31.
The bad news it is s-l-o-w. Using a video intensive benchmark in this case GtkPerf from Ubuntu Synaptic: Intrepid runs in 36.0 seconds karmic_ runs in 65.8 seconds. Karmic 2.6.31-1 is 83% slower! In particular the progress bar test runs in intrepid 1.36 seconds karmic_ 4.23 seconds Oof. What has KMS mode=1 done to us compared to Intel driver module 2.4.1? Well anyway karmic boots & runs so the problem as written is fixed for the moment (wait for the next update). Thanks, Jerry Do note the font smearing problem is still very much with us, with several characters appearing as black blotches for example U and j and O and K and .... Upstream thinks they fixed this see Bugzilla 21415 and Launchpad #304514. -- KMS karmic black screen i830 video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394422 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
