markstosI published a comparison of Mandriva 2007 vs. Ubuntu Edgy. They both fell down on reliably resuming and suspending my ThinkPad T20 laptop, which appears to be a general Linux regression. The article is here:05:43

johnyhey everybody, someone could help?09:59
johnyis there anybody?10:00
Lurejohny: what is the problem10:00
johnyI've got a laptop and experience some problems with the resolution higher than 1024x768.10:01
Lurelaptop model and which graphic card10:02
johnyI'm using an ATI card, 9700 for notebooks.10:02
Lureati or fglrx drivers?10:03
johnyThe laptop, hmm it's a "litlle-known" machine10:03
johnyfglrx10:03
Lurejohny: they have dropped support for several cards in recent fglrx driver - did you try "ati" (open source driver) 10:04
Lurejohny: and you still did not say what is the problem above 1024x768...10:05
johnyNo I haven't so far10:05
johnyso ok the aplication sets the resulution but if it's higher than 1024 I have problems with viewing the screen..10:06
johnymy mouse leaves tails , and different colors appear.10:07
Lurejohny: I heard about this problem on fglrx 10:08
Lurejohny: why do not try open source driver?10:08
johnyok, and fglrx isn't ?10:08
Lurejohny: no, fglrx is binary driver from ATI. Just replace "fglrx" with "ati" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart the login session10:09
johnyOK i'll, if the problem remains I'll let you know, ok?10:10
Lureopen source driver in edgy is much better than the one in dapper and fglrx is only needed for latest cards (X1xxx)10:10
johnybut what's the basic difference beetwen them?10:11
Lurejohny: huge - one is open source, but written with limited documentation (so lacking in features), the other is done by ATI, so they have all the info to write it properly, but the source is not there (so only ATI can fix bugs) and it is known to have problemes with hibernate and other issues...10:12
johnyok i got that now :10:13
johny:)10:13
johnyAm i supposed to set the same in Kubuntu? (I'm asking becouse of friend of mine)10:15
Lurejohny: yes10:16
=== Lure is running oss ati driver on his kubuntu laptop
johnythank you very much, let me ask- are there many people here every day asking info and searching for solutions?10:18
