(Get the code!)
I really hope this issue isn't going to last as long as the old nvidia gfx card one with natty.. Nearly the whole release cycle natty was without nvidia support for old nvidia cards.
Now it looks like oneiric won't support nvidia at all. (Loosing my screen during standby/hibernate and while adding an external monitor is "not supported" for me.)
These 100% showstoppers are so damn bad for the reputation of the Linux world (because Ubuntu is the most representative OS to potentially new users). New users don't know about different DEs, distributions or even how to install a binary driver from the nvidia website to circumvent such a bug. And there is a great chance they don't want to know..
More experienced users like us most probably even like to find/fix bugs in their system. But what i really like is that we can contribute (bug reports/fixing) to a Ubuntu alpha/beta to provide the normal user a GOOD experience with the full release.
Lets hope nvidia is fast enough with fixing this one.. Imo oneiric should not be released when nvidia cards don't work 100%.
