Re: [Bug 776466] Re: no display with acer aspire 7715

 

Hey Bryce,

The bug was a little to anoying to ignore, and I met some other issues
with natty (ie no stable VPN connection to a certain cisco based
network), that I gave up after a couple of months, and did the brave
thing to downgrade to 10.04 LTS. Its not the most straight-forward thing
to do, and it gave me some amount of hassle, but with the community
based information I managed it. So three cheers to any-one who
participated in documenting a down-grade (and that it is possibel to
downgrade really shows how well thought an OS we are dealing with here),
and good luck with development. I cant say I am willing to try and
install oneiric, since I am running out of primary partitions on this
particular machine. Please feel free to close the bug, alas marked as
unresolved. 

Kind regards,
menno
