[Bug 347577] [NEW] add/remove , display , monitor settings crash the system. acpi problem

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hi, I've been using Ubuntu for some time and I must say it is really
a great OS, unfortunately I have encountered a few problems.

I have Jaunty installed and I'm using an Asus X50 GL laptop

When I'm trying to launch the Add/Remove, Display or Monitor Settings application
the system crashes, the screen just freezes and the graphics go
wrong in some places. apport won't launch.
I didn't have this problem when using Interpid, the system didn't crash
though I am/was unable to change the brightness of the display.

An additional problem is that I am unable to turn the laptop off. When I select
shut down, the OS closes normally, but the laptop won't shut down. Restart works
perfectly fine. I've read a lot of comments on this and it is said that this is a problem with acpi
drivers, when using asus laptops.

Can You help me please?
Even with those bugs Ubuntu is still a lot better than Vista, but then again having them
fixed would make my life a lot easier.

Thanks in advance.
