geode driver's crash symbio sym1110 devices on Hardy 64-bit with (32-bit LTSP chroot)

[Patrick Rady]

Symbio sym1110 low-power clients have worked well with LTSP under Ubuntu-Feisty and Gutsy. However under Hardy, the new geode display drivers crash the devices. They boot, then eventually display blue horizontal lines, followed by a completely distorted display. If you try to type at the keyboard- they immediately Segmentation Fault.

The only way the sym1110's seem to work with Hardy is to set them to VESA in lts.conf. This offers extremely poor video performance and represents a real step backward in using these devices.

I have tested this on clean installs of both 8.04 and 8.04.1- AMD 64 with 32-bit ltsp environment.

8.04 is no longer supported for desktop installs.

Can you try with 10.04 which is that last Ubuntu release supporting your hardware?
