Hi Tim, unfortunately I do not have your hardware, so I have to imagine what I would do. First I would blacklist all (!!!) drivers found in the /lib/modules/xxx/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00 directories of Brian Rogers kernels, where xxx is e.g. 2.6.35rc5-nopatch1-generic for one of his lat

Folow up to comment #173 Yesterday evening I had a GPU hang after 24h of squeezing the i845. First symptom was that totem player was shutting down without comment after it had opened an video which I had already watched before. Then I logged out and instead of showing the login screen the comput

Hi Tim, kernel 2.6.35-rc5 is just a week old. Maverick will use 2.6.35 and after its release, I guess, we can expect support for lucid as well, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498079 . For the meantime, the module you wish for your wlan is presumably rt2860sta.ko or rt2870sta.ko, a

In Brian Rogers' ppa two knew kernels have been build, linux- image-2.6.34-drm-generic and linux-image-2.6.34-v9patch-generic. Unfortunately those too freeze my Dell Optiplex GX60 with 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE (rev 01) the same way as the 2.6.34-52 kernel did, i.e. at the first mode switch. As I l

A follow up to what I posted about the fix-proposed 2.6.34-52.1 kernel in comment #188. I had a single crash since then while using firefox on a page ( www.bahn.de , German railways) which seems to fragment bitmaps not only in the ff window but eventually also the panels. The fragmentation is rathe

A new combination for testing, perhaps it is a sign for an upcoming fix: I am writing this on a 82845G/GL (rev 01) under Lucid with the following software installed: linux-image-2.6.34-997-generic_2.6.34-997.201004191525_i386.deb from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/
