I realize Second Life is a high demand program and that wasn't the focal point of my concern; it was the power management features for the most part but also the video (which I believe the problem I'm having links the two). It's not the quality I'm worried about anyway as much as it is the fact that I have to frequently hold down my power button from using much graphical rendering. It WAS Intrepid that caused the problem because I had just gotten done downloading the image, burned in, powered down, booted from CD and only THEN did the problem become a problem.
I also know it wasn't a grounding issue; especially since it continued to flicker like that AFTER I removed the power supply. After I powered it off (immediately) I left it unplugged, turned it back on and still.. flickering. Only after removing the battery briefly did it quit. It IS a problem with the ACPI as Hardy has problems with managing ANY aspect of my power consumption. Thank you for your input, but you are wrong in thinking it is a hardware issue; this an issue with software that is being developed for Intrepid. I want to be able to take Windows off and put Ubuntu back on and the only way I can do this is to make developers know that there is an ongoing problem with this chipset. If I could write software, I'd fix it on my own. -- Intel 965 Mobile Chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260896 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
