It turns out this does NOT happen if I use a Karmic kernel with Lucid: Ubuntu version and kernel version DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" Linux eros 2.6.31-21-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 24 07:28:56 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux model name : Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+
This might be related to some issues in bug #495553, reported against the same Averatec 3280 laptop. The main remaining problem in that bug report does not occur when running a Karmic kernel under Lucid. -- [K8M800] AntSpotlight screensaver causes system to lock up immediately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
