[05:43] <markstos> I 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] <markstos> and the related suspend/resume bug report is here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/50031
[05:44] <mamzers555> i have the same problem, suspending to ram don't work. but i now found out, that if swap it causes problems
[09:59] <johny> hey everybody, someone could help?
[10:00] <johny> is there anybody?
[10:00] <Lure> johny: what is the problem
[10:01] <johny> I've got a laptop and experience some problems with the resolution higher than 1024x768.
[10:02] <Lure> laptop model and which graphic card
[10:02] <johny> I'm using an ATI card, 9700 for notebooks.
[10:03] <Lure> ati or fglrx drivers?
[10:03] <johny> The laptop, hmm it's a "litlle-known" machine
[10:03] <johny> fglrx
[10:04] <Lure> johny: they have dropped support for several cards in recent fglrx driver - did you try "ati" (open source driver) 
[10:05] <Lure> johny: and you still did not say what is the problem above 1024x768...
[10:05] <johny> No I haven't so far
[10:06] <johny> so ok the aplication sets the resulution but if it's higher than 1024 I have problems with viewing the screen..
[10:07] <johny> my mouse leaves tails , and different colors appear.
[10:08] <Lure> johny: I heard about this problem on fglrx 
[10:08] <Lure> johny: why do not try open source driver?
[10:08] <johny> ok, and fglrx isn't ?
[10:09] <Lure> johny: no, fglrx is binary driver from ATI. Just replace "fglrx" with "ati" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart the login session
[10:10] <johny> OK i'll, if the problem remains I'll let you know, ok?
[10:10] <Lure> open source driver in edgy is much better than the one in dapper and fglrx is only needed for latest cards (X1xxx)
[10:11] <johny> but what's the basic difference beetwen them?
[10:12] <Lure> johny: 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...
[10:13] <johny> ok i got that now :
[10:13] <johny> :)
[10:15] <johny> Am i supposed to set the same in Kubuntu? (I'm asking becouse of friend of mine)
[10:16] <Lure> johny: yes
[10:18] <johny> thank you very much, let me ask- are there many people here every day asking info and searching for solutions?
[10:38] <johny> ok gotta go, bye
