Why is it that graphics support is broken after each upgrade of a Linux distribution?
Upgrading from Ubunu 9.10 to 10.04 beta... On my work ThinkPad T60, kernel crashes on boot unless "nosplash" is specified. X starts up, but the dualscreen setup doesn't work anymore. One panel (DVI) can't sync after some time, the other (VGA) is distorted. Switching from radeon to radeonhd driver solves the problem, but in the old version, radeonhd was the driver with frequent crashes and other problems.
...and why the hell does xinput now expect device IDs as input instead of the device name?
At least everything else seems to basically do what's expected, and I finally have Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3...
