[Bug 941172] Re: do-release-update to Precise produces a hardware-not-support-in-Natty warning

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

Thanks for the reference to #774999.

Okay, given that the warning does still apply to Precise, I'll re-
iterate that it would be very useful if the warning message gave some
pointers to additional information one can used to decide how to answer
the "Continue with upgrade?' prompt....

For example, am I correct in understanding that this warning only
applies if one is using X.org?  (In my case I'm using the machine as a
server with no X, so presumably there's no reason I shouldn't go ahead
and upgrade to Precise?)

I did a little Googling and found this page:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes

Is there any better pointer for more information on the issues covered
by #774999?

Thanks.

Title:
  do-release-update to Precise produces a hardware-not-support-in-Natty
  warning

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I ran "do-release-update -d" on a Lucid system to upgrade to Precise
  (which downloaded and ran version 0.156.6 of precise.tar.gz).

  As part of the pre-upgrade checking process, I got the following
  message:

    Your graphics hardware may not be fully supported in Ubuntu 11.04.

    The support in Ubuntu 11.04 for your intel graphics hardware is 
    limited and you may encounter problems after the upgrade. Do you want 
    to continue with the upgrade?

  Does this warning still apply to Precise?
