Comment 10 for bug 500686

Geir Ove Myhr, I think I am going to drop back two versions of ubuntu to
7.10 or 8.10 (I can't remember which one it was that the computer last
worked). I spent 1/2 a day trying to load kernels and do a batchbuffer dump
with ssh. I really need to be able to use this computer ... so, I'll just
wait until it gets figured out .... or maybe try lucid when it comes
available. Thanks, Dave

I assume you were trying to do the following test:
 * Does it help to use a recent drm-intel-next kernel from this
archive? (more info at KernelTeam/MainlineBuild)
I see that this could be misunderstood. drm-intel-next is actually a
subfolder of the mainline kernel build directory you get to by
following the link. So v2.6.33-rc2 wasn't really what I had in mind
(but it's still useful information). I will update the link to point
directly to the drm-intel-next folder.

You need to log in with your Launchpad username and password (in the
top right corner). Then you can choose the Edit link in the top left
corner. The easiest way to add your info to the table is to copy one
of the example lines (they're long and therefore wrapped over several
text lines) and substitute the info for your own (removing what is
there if you want to leave it blank). You can use the preview button
to check that it worked the way you wanted it to.
