[Ubuntu-SG] June's SLMG is about to get pre-empted

[Tom Goh]

Hi John,

I found this 
http://beranger.org/v3/wordpress/2009/05/04/jaunty-kernel-2630-fixes-the-intel-video/

So may just reinstall the desktop kernel or reinstall a new minimal 
gnome and go for the 2.6.30 kernel and fix the hibernate problem.

This whole thing has made me realize that the whole xorg thing is messed 
up with intel, nvidia just ripping stuff in and out of the xorg code. 
It is supposedly a complete mess.

Heard that they are refactoring it but not able to find much information 
about it.
