I am also affected, running 10.10 on a Thinkpad X40, also with i855GM. Sound playback is interrupted every 5-10 seconds and the mouse cursor freezes for a moment. This is really horrible when you try to make a softphone call.
I tried Glasen's PPA back in 10.04, but it did not resolve the various video crashes I had back then. I will try to install the suggested upgrade to the Natty kernel as you proposed, reidi. -- [ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4] Playback problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658747 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
