--- Comment #8 from Lee Matheson
I do not know if it will help, but I've learned that the Ubuntu "community" have come up with implementating a patch for the 855GM problem here: https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix which portedly works with a 2.6.32 kernel. And a remastered Ubuntu liveCD here with the patch: http://glasen-hardt.de/?p=568 ...
If thought useful, I could download the remastered Ubuntu CD and try it out, although I confess I am not a Ubuntu fan (just the opposite and very very far from it) and hence I am not particularly keen on doing this download of a Ubuntu liveCD, unless advised it would be helpful for me to try as a test.
I downloaded the iso file for the Ubuntu community CD, burned it, and then today booted my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop with the i855GM graphics. The freeze that I experienced on openSUSE-11.2 and 11.3 M4 and M6 does NOT occur with this special Ubuntu community test version. I checked the Xorg.0.log file i that Ubuntu liveCD and the "Intel" driver (version 2.11) is being used with a Ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic kernel (which I presume has been specially patched with the fix noted here https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix. There are so many various fixes around, this is a bit confusing. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
