Comment 68 for bug 330906

m0dcm, you act as though this is Canonical's problem but it isn't. It takes a lot of luck, time, and work to reverse engineer drivers when you don't have any cooperation from the ones that built the hardware. The ones who built the hardware haven't bothered to release newer drivers that work on the video stack used in Lucid. Maybe they will in a few months as the Linux kernel 2.6.32 happens to be an important release. My advice is to reinstall Karmic as many have had luck with getting the drivers working there, or if you like Jolicloud, you can use that (Jolicloud is built on Karmic any way; that's why it works, it's not Canonical being lazy or incompetent or malicious).
