Geir, I'm retired from IBM where among other things I did system
testing, so here to try out new Ubuntu releases I run 4 test pc's i830,
i845, ati Mobility 7500, and ati Express 200.  Within my linux
capabilities and time I can run some tests where people are interested.

Here's the Xorg.0.log since I haven't re-booted yet.  I'll do an
aptitude update, aptitude safe-upgrade shortly.

Thanks for your explanations.  Mostly from what I see Ubuntu changes
"just appear" where someone in the know must understand why the changes
are being done and what they are good for.

I do multi-boot so I can compare previous Ubuntu's usually when the
latest update breaks things.  My impression is Lucid Beta 2 is quite
responsive to the keyboard with nice boot up and shutdown times and is
my preferred version.

If what "vesa" lacks is 16:9 resolution since I'm not a coder it would
seem to me to be easier to add that than whatever development effort the
"intel" driver is taking.  My narrow view I'm the only user so there are
just two accounts, root and jerry, and I never switch accounts, so I'm
not sure what KMS would do for me.  With the amount of work and trouble
KMS must have some value to someone.

Thanks, Jerry
