I have been trying the backported Maverick, Natty & Oneiric kernels on Lucid.

The snag is that when installing Oneiric
(linux-image-generic-lts-backport-oneiric) I see a bunch of errors
about certain Realtek drivers not being installed, and when installing
the Natty kernel (linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty), I get
similar ones about certain graphics drivers:

Running postinst hook script /usr/sbin/update-grub.

Sure enough, the resultant system doesn't run correctly on a PC with
an ATI graphics card and is stuck in 800*600.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to resolve this?

using 3.0.0-17-generic #30~lucid with -duh- lucid and an ancient nVidia.
using nVidia driver - no issues.


not what you asked but an indication, given the normal weeping and
gnashing of teeth that go with anything nVidia. I had problems with a
realtek card using bodhi with a higher kernel, solved by going to mfg
site and upgrading driver.


radeon I don't know squat about.
