Comment 51 for bug 1109309

Hi Joseph,

In preparation for testing the mainline kernel you suggested, I started by launching a Raring install (using the released 13.04 image with 3.8.0-19.29 kernel). I expected this to bomb at install time, and having to add the kernel parameter as originally reported.

To my surprise, it installed and booted without a hitch, using the nouveau driver.

Linux 200912-4906 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:16:28 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I guess, then, that whatever it is that fixes this problem was included in this released Ubuntu kernel.

Just to be thorough, I did install the 3.10-rc4-saucy kernel you suggested. This also boots fine and I can reach a usable desktop.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed, I think we could set this to Fix Released, at least for the XPS 1340. I'd like to know more precisely where the fix came from but realistically we may not have a lot of time to do that.
