http://ubuntuforums.org – I had 12.10 installed on my HP DV6 laptop but tonight I decided to go back to 12,04. Originally I had problems with my ATI discrete graphics but an update to Jockey seems to have the drivers installed and working fine now. 12.04 is just quicker and MyUnity is available for it. I have everything looking just the way I want it, the graphics are working fine, memory use is better and the system is a lot more responsive. I like some of the new features in 12.10 but the LTS just runs so much better. (Hardware)

Chakra basically stopped working with the latest update to xorg and ati, it worked fine before with ati 12.4 Catalyst but 12.6 is a no go. I tried out the latest Chakra Claire, it would boot fine of live CD with graphics but I would get a message of unknown graphic. After install and update, I installed Catalyst and it was the same story, system would boot to a blinking cursor.

I purchased a new Lenovo g580 laptop. But I am totally disappointed when I installed Ubuntu on it. Almost all drivers are not working. :-( The laptop configuration is intel i3 processor Nvidia GeForce 610M graphics card.
