I have a laptop where the i810 driver properly detects my wide screen monitor and chooses 1200x800. Gutsy final beta with intel driver used 1024x768 instead. After trying to set up a second monitor (for a projector) X wouldn't start up and I had to remove xorg.conf and start over to get things working again. The XV issue as described in the bug report really is a pita with i810, but that's possible to workaround. I'd prefer telling my grandfather that he'll have to wait for compiz/desktop effects to mature another 6 months than to get him to log in using the console, remove a file having him type in the name, running dpkg-reconfigure bla bla ...
I say stick with what is stable. That's why I chose and recommend Ubuntu - "things just work". Want the fancy stuff - go with some other distro. -- Gutsy: Intel should be preferred over 810 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
