2011-05-01 17:08:48 Olivier Mengué description Binary package hint: xorg Posted from the X11 recovery session. None of the sessions works (except the recovery session, but that doesn't count) after upgrade from Maverick to Natty- Ubuntu : a dialog box says the hadware is does not accept Unity, then screen is garbled (reboot from linux console) - Ubuntu Classic : screen is garbled (reboot from linux console) - Ubuntu Classic (no effects) : system freeze Why the upgrade did not warn me about the lack of support for this hardware? I would not have upgraded. Or tested with the live CD.

This report requests a warning be presented to users on 8xx intel chips that they're going to be pretty much on their own if they run into problems, and so should do ample testing on their own using livecds and whatnot before risking an upgrade. 10.04 LTS was the last release us distro maintainers really paid attention to 8xx problems, and so 8xx owners must be cautious upgrading beyond that.

Users frequently experience regressions and problems, which they find annoying. For distro maintenance, we typically prioritize development work around 915 and higher, and recommend owners of older hardware work directly with upstream filing bugs at bugzilla.freedesktop.org rather than launchpad. This bug report requests a warning be presented to users on 8xx intel chips that they may be on their own if they run into problems unique to 8xx, and so should do ample testing on their own using livecds and whatnot before risking an upgrade. 10.04 LTS was the last release where we gave priority to 8xx issues and did development/fixup work on it, and so 8xx owners must be cautious upgrading beyond that. Upstream still does some limited maintenance work for 8xx, so Ubuntu may well work fine (so blacklisting 8xx is not suitable) but if it doesn't, we are not open to backporting upstream fixes or introducing tweaks to fix 8xx issues. Our experience has been that when we do this, we risk fixing it for one system but breaking several others... [Original Report] Posted from the X11 recovery session.
