Current Issues
- System hangs sometimes on booting with garbled screen, especially when returning from Windows. (seems to be fixed)
- Suspend results in kernel panic when waking up. (seems to be fixed)
- Hibernate results in frozen X when waking up (fixed in Karmic)
- 3D acceleration is slow with Intrepid (fixed in Karmic)
Possible solution:
- kernel 2.6.28-2-generic from jaunty
add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu intrepid main to sources.list
