Warning to Debian people with Intel graphics.
« on: June 27, 2007, 01:26:10 pm »
I'm using Debian testing, and have a Intel i915 graphics chip, and the latest updates fucked my laptop.  So if you have the same, I would suggest not installing the latest X updates for a few weeks.

My words are mine and mine alone.  I can't speak for anyone else, and there is no one who can speak for me.  If I ever make a post that gives the opinions or positions of other users or groups, then they will be clearly labeled as such.
I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.
I am not a dev.  Nothing I say counts for anything.

"Fucked your laptop."

And by that you mean?

By that I mean a error message about being unable to allocate memory, and X then not starting.
I was right in the midst of trying out a new window manager, and had forgotten all about the updates...  Took me half an hour to work it out :(

Anyway, fixed it in the end, had to up the VideoRam a lot.  apt-get failed too, apparently the old version vanished into thin air.
