Comment 91 for bug 304871

XAA not much luck on this i845. Sometimes it will run for a minute or two, today it wouldn't even complete booting complaining about low graphics mode with 2.6.28-8.8. Neither is UXA or EXA I could generate Xorg.0.logs if they are of interest.

Presently for jaunty I'm using Driver "vesa" which has much much better scroll than Driver "Intel" Option "NoAccel".

By far the best is intrepid ibex with acpid=noirq.

Ubuntu seems to be well on the path of "latest, high end equipment only" which is the way Microsoft goes. If it weren't for the jaunty video the performance of this 2 gHz Celeron is just fine for internet news, flash videos, Office Write & spreadsheet, mail, ... No I don't do games.

So I may well be stuck on Intrepid for IBM Think Centre A30 2 gHz Celeron and IBM Thinkpad R31 1 gHz Celeron. The IBM Thinkpad T40 and Compaq Presario 3.3 gHz Celeron are O.K. with jaunty, who knows about Koala....

Thanks for your efforts on this. Jerry
