Hi,

I've just tried Natty on the VPCY21S1E and found that with various kernels,
the KMS graphics for the Intel chip doesn't work.
These are the kernels I tried:
vmlinuz-2.6.35-24-generic
vmlinuz-2.6.37-12-generic
vmlinuz-2.6.38-997-generic

I have everything working on an Arch Linux partition. The kernel is the
drm-intel-next kernel branch from here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ickle/drm-intel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/drm-intel-next

The version of that kernel (from about 9th Dec) works with KMS and native
resolution etc.

I'm not sure why the kernel that comes with natty doesn't work (it's more
recent so should have the changes from this branch merged in).

Also, the wireless card is disabled in Ubuntu (it's fine in Arch).
It is:
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless
Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

Does anyone know a way to fix that?

Thanks,
Will
