As of a week or two ago they would hang randomly. Not lately. Yay!
I do ordinary user internet email, web browse, network printing, Open Office, test Ubuntu Alpha etc., .... I don't do games or eye candy. Of course the next update might tank them again, for the nth time, starting with Intrepid. Then it's back to i915.modeset=0 and xorg vesa.
I have had poor results on trying a fix to back fixes off to what it was before.
Also I'm not sure the fixes will be compatible with the usual torrent of daily updates?
I intend to do a second Maverick install on the i845G which has enough disk space and then try the fix. That way I don't disturb the current working version and have it to fall back on.
Thanks for working on this long persisting problem area.
Brian,
I'd like to test it. I've got i845 and i830 which have had a LOT of trouble with Maverick, Lucid, ....
At the moment both of them are running Maverick Alpha 3 updated to 31 August with default:
2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:24:04 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
dpkg -s xserver- xorg-video- intel | grep Version: Version: 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu5
