resolve what ? this thread is jaunty-specific. karmic has none of the problems and runs fine out of the box on the same hardware.

Fixed, see bug.

The full details are in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier-kde/+bug/441097 but in brief, I get a total-lack-of-information error when trying to update to 9.10, just after the...

At this point I've disabled auto-updates from the Xorg-edgers (etc.) repo., as it got to a point a few weeks back where it all worked and I was happy with it.
Right now, if I were you I would be...

I've seen a flurry of xorg-edgers updates since this post, and although things haven't settled down, the current version I have works fine now.

Life on the edge, eh :-)

Try
# sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
or
# sudo -i
# gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I'm using the xorg-edgers repo. to cure my Intel video hardware slowness.

Since the last mass update from it, when I restore from hibernate all the title bars in KDE4 are gone, though otherwise...

It should be fine - double check grub's menu.lst but you should be fine with both a .30 'manual' kernal and the .28 apt provides. I am :-)

You don't say which of the steps in the first post here you've done.

$ grep -i UXA /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(--) intel(0): Using UXA for acceleration
(II) UXA(0): Driver...

Or, another way, why upset a bunch of people when there is little evidence of 'suffering' under the older drivers ? And please don't quote the well known 'SRU policy' line - the issue was known...

Well, the point was really that numerous beta and alpha testers found the problem, and it was released with them anyway.
A perfectly reasonable, indeed safer, solution existed (keep the whole X...

Aww, come on. Do I have to think of everything ? Set up a cron job (using root's crontab). Or chgrp adm /proc/mtrr;chmod g+rw /proc/mtrr in rc.local. Or ...

Put it in ~/.xinitrc then

To run at start up, put in /etc/rc.local

Silly question, you did the echo as root, right ? Either by putting in /etc/rc.local or running sudo -i first ?

Cheers for this, on my hardware (a Dell 1525n laptop):

When my laptop resumes from hibernate, the KDE4 panel is non-responsive to the mouse, and neither does the desktop (i.e. right click). I can see knetworkmanagers icon moving as it reconnects,...

It appears I can echo various things to /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0*/trigger to control the LED on my laptops front panel.

I've looked around Intel's driver web site, and even the kernel source, but...
