2 days till Karmic!! 2 DAYS TILL KARMIC!!!! ^_^

After release a lot of bugs that made it through to final release will be focused on and (hopefully) repaired. That's why it's important for people to send in bug reports if they're able to.

One person sends in an early bug report related to hardware incompatibility and it gets fixed for everyone by the time the final is released, I like to think so anyway.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...73/+bug/452537 - I don't think it's worth ignoring such bugs .. it leaves me without a choice.

Drivers and Kernel are pretty much stable (as in speed of development) in Ubuntu once the distribution has been released.

So if it doesn't work for you, unless the GPU manufacturer releases an update upstream which will fix the issue upstream (will require manual installation), then there is not much you can do on the Kernel side.


Try Karmic now, there won't be much more changes made, ATi and Intel work alot better as they have switched the driver (for those that had issues in Jaunty).

If it still doesn't work, I guess only you decide what to do from here.

The funniest thing is that I haven't had any problems since 7.x, but now .. it stops working for some reason. I tried Karmic Beta, RC ( daily builds ) - both crashed.
