I dont know if this information will help but: I have temporarily installed Debian Testing - Lenny.
Fully updated (as of yesterday) (xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.3.2-2+lenny4), xserver-xorg-core (2:1.4.2-5) , linux- image-2.6.26-1-686 (2.6.26-4) ) and it froze quickly (within the hour but I was not at the machine). Adding the pipe-A option and vga=733 to grub and the machine has been running 24hours 100% stable (including closing lid a few times), though I am suffering occasional screen artifacts which go away after a screen refresh (eg changing to a tty and back) These are the only changes made to Debian and Ubuntu. Both running 100% default desktop/laptop configurations. -- Dell C400 (i830) freezes in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
