Comment 321 for bug 541511

Thanks Brian:

I'm one of those with an 855 Intel chipset.

I tried out your system patch on a completely clean 10.04 install.

Though the dots animation screen proior to the login screen is not
visible, log in proceeds perfectly.

Only problem is my Compiz graphics have been reduced to the Ubuntu
8.10 to 9.04 range where video playing in media player of VLC does not
track window dragging until the window is released. Additionally,
Windows-E does not resize the video playing in the window. This means
I'm back to playing one video at a time as the video playback is
locked to a hard screen region, not to a logical screen region.

Additionally the sleep problem fixed with 10.04 has reverted back to
9.04. If I close and reopen the lid while the system is running, the
system locks.

Regressing my system by 6 to 12 months is not the way to go. Sorry.

I should mention that aside from the sleep problem, I have full 3D
compiz graphics with no glitches in the default install of 9.10 I'm
still running as my main system on the same Dell x300 laptop.

Thanks for the effort. Hope this helps.

Now about the rumors.. is this maybe a problem in Intel's driver
supporting my older hardware, and are they doing any work? I think
I've noticed at least one Intel driver come down the pike so far..
