Hi Thomas, You can search this list on http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.x/ Another option is to download the 5MB archive from https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/ Putting the mbox into your Thunderbird Mail folder makes for a nice way to search through it. > I found lockups common with the ATI card, so I have removed it and am > using the internal video (DC-133) Most of these RV/R2xx lockups are due to AGP speed mismatch. Check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#ATI%20Radeon%20Driver%20Quirks The instructions there are for UMS and not KMS, so either boot with radeon.modeset=0 to use UMS, or set AGP mode with radeon.agpmode=1 (or 2,4,8,-1). > Yesterday I found my machine in kernal panic (CAPS and SCROLL Lock > blinking together) I don't know about your kernel panic, but these i8xx cards often have GPU lockup issues: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes > Does anyone have a decent overview of what I can do to get some > diagnostics from a panic? To find out more about the kernel panic (if you can reproduce it) I would suggest netconsole. You can then use a second machine to pick up kernel messages which otherwise do not end up on the screen or your disk. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Netconsole > Are Beta versions different from released versions in this respect? No, they are all configured and built the same way. In fact, many binary packages from the beta will end up in the final release.
