Comment 54 for bug 435352

Thanks Peter, your comments (both here and on your site) were really helpful in getting an Ubuntu Netbook Remix live session up and running on my MSI Wind U100. Some notes on my experience.

1. Very occasionally, booting to a UNR live session works with the webcam on. When it does, both the webcam and the usb ports work. I can access a flash drive and use Cheese.

2. But, usually, if the webcam has been left on, or has been turned on at the boot splash screen, I cannot boot to a live session. I get endlessly scrolling error messages during the boot process.

3. Disabling the webcam with the Fn F6 key at the boot splash screen is persistent. Once it's off, it stays off after shutdown and restart. Thus it only needs to be turned off once.

4. If the webcam has been turned off via Fn F6, I can consistently boot to a live session.

5. USB ports work during a live session with the webcam off.

6. Suspend works with the webcam off, both via closing up the machine and hitting Fn F12.

7. Screen brightness issues seem to be inconsistent and intermittent in live sessions with cam on, live sessions with cam off, and in my installation of Karmic. Sometimes the screen is flickering after boot, sometimes it isn't. Right clicking gets rid of it if it is.

Thanks again.
