Comment 7 for bug 1135403

Sorry, I should have added that lack of 3d acceleration is a problem no matter if I'm using my external monitor (which I usually use as single display with the laptop monitor off & not in extended or clone mode) or my laptop's built in display.

This means I've not been attempting to push 3d graphics to any area larger than the highest native resolution the external monitor supports, and in many cases the much smaller 800x600).

Further symptoms include a compete loss of graphics as soon as gnome loads when booting a 3.5.0 (Ubuntu) or 3.70 (edgers) kernel. The same is not a problem when booting a 3.8.0 custom compiled kernel.

Is this likely to a but in something other that -intel & should I be opening a new bug on these new issues with 3d acceleration?
