Ubuntu 9.10 will switch from the current EXA acceleration method to UXA. A kernel-mode setting, meanwhile, will reduce video mode switching flicker during start up and - the team said - "dramatically" speed up the suspend and resume time.Elsewhere, the Linux kernel 2.6.30 has been added along with the latest version of Gnome: version 2.27.1"article: The register - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/05/14/karmic_koala_alpha/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
