For those like myself wishing to stick with LTS, I have the 855GM working beautifully with desktop effects, xvideo and no known problems or side effects. Using, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes as a reference, I enabled KMS and enabled the glasen ppa to install the latest intel driver (currently 2.15.0) and related packages like libdrm2 and libdrm-intel1.
I'm also running kernel 2.6.38-10-generic #46~lucid1-Ubuntu from lucid- updates. I was running backported kernels before, but this one came up a few days ago and has run very nicely. I thought Lucid was sticking to 2.6.32, but this seems to be a supported kernel and even says in the notes that Canonical will support it until October 2011. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 Title: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/541511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
