Remember this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/UxaTesting We should duplicate that effort for i8xx testing and call upon the posters of the Maverick testing forum and Freenode to post their experiences. While the i8xx issues are documented in one way or another across this mailing list with respect to the current broken situation, there will be a need for a centralized location for such data on the wiki as the driver changes are pushed into the archives. It's not hard for me to imagine that the Maverick forum will get a string of "Just updated pkgs. WTF happened to mah grafix?" topics. In my opinion, UxaTesting was extremely successful because you guys made it ridiculously simple for Ubuntu users to share their results in a detailed and organized manner. Editing a wiki and figuring out your VGA string are effortless compared to joining and posting on a mailing list. I'm quite optimistic that what we may learn will be critical to evaluating the efficacy of fbdev+kms, bringing any potential bugs or freezes to light, and perhaps steer us in finding a more ideal solution for Natty. - Eric -- Ubuntu-x mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
