Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty & the Netbook Launcher

[Chris Debenham]

There is a problem with the kernel shipped in 9.04 with certain intel graphics.
It most hits netbooks.
This is logged in the bugtracker at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/349314
The easiest fix is to download
http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp349314-jaunty/linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic_2.6.28-11.43~lp349314apw5_i386.deb
Then install/reboot.
I've done this on my wifes EeePC 900 and it helped a lot.
