Hardy Heron comes with an upgraded version of "ATI Driver Install Headache". In all honesty, I don't see why they include this with every new release, everytime people get rid of it, they just make sure it is in the newest release.....

Difference is
8.04 - 7.10 = 0.94

after upgraded from gutsy to hardy, the 1st thing i open up is system monitor. The graphic on resource tab looks better that gutsy.

And now my laptop wireless card (intel 3945AGB) stoped working, plus, you got a lot of new bugs, 7.10 is MUCH better, all my hardware worked perfectly, if you haven't upgraded yet, don't, stay with 7.10.
Is there a way to downgrade back to 7.10 without formating the partition?

What's new in xorg? This?

I heard the screens and monitors (can't remember the exact name) config was updated. Can someone with tv-out post a screenshot please?

Why don't you start a thread and ask for some help? They generally don't take drivers out of the linux kernel so its in there somewhere, waiting for you to activate it. You could also just downgrade your kernel rather than the entire distro. Believe it or not, the Ubuntu team havent been working for a year to make this worse.

It's a known problem, with no cure yet. all I said is that he shouldn't upgrade before he tries the live CD on his system.
Right now I'm using the old kernel from 7.10, but other things doesn't work either, even with the old kernel: TV out, some bluetooth functionality, and probably more stuff I haven't found yet, all worked "out of the box" in Ubuntu 7.10...
I love Ubuntu, but 8.04 is one of the buggiest distros I ever used in Ubuntu...
