  • 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

  • install
