In the last version, they broke my Intel graphics driver, rendering my machine almost unusable except for the console. I spent many hours trying to fix it, and ended up switching to Arch out of frustration. I don't think I'm going back, but does anyone know if they've fixed it?


This was a really famous regression. It's not solely Ubuntu's fault, of course; they got bitten by shipping newer software. But yes -- they (Intel, really, not Canonical) fixed it.


Fixed for sure. I had the same problem but instead of switching to arch I installed the latest X.org drivers.


If you've already got Arch set up how you like it, there's not much reason to switch back over to Ubuntu, at least in my opinion.


They fixed that bug along w/ a few other annoying bugs (pulseaudio, laptop mic, etc). I've been running Ubuntu 9.10 for a month now on my laptop and have had almost zero problems. Only one resume fail in all that time.
