Hi,

For those with an ATI graphics card in your Aspire Timeline laptop, I have
a testing request if you can spare a few minutes of your time:

Here are the packages for testing kernel mode-setting (KMS) on -ati:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/kms<https://edge.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-x-swat/+archive/kms>

After adding this PPA, install the packages like this:

$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati

To boot into KMS mode, append the following kernel parameter in the boot
loader:

radeon.modeset=1

Good things to test include compiz, video playback, 3d apps... File bug
reports (using 'ubuntu-bug -p xserver-xorg-video-ati') on any regressions
you encounter.


Cheers,


    Albert.
