Does it work better with Mageia 5 beta?

Hello,
I have to get the laptop first, as it's not mine.
Please wait until the next week.

We've waited for one month, any chance you could test? :)

Setting version to cauldron since we can't fix Mageia 4 ISOs.

Version: 4 => Cauldron

Sorry, there is no change to have it.

Comment 7 Samuel Verschelde 2015-05-02 23:43:31 CEST

If there's no chance you can get the laptop again, I suggest to close the bug report for now, and let users reopen it or another one if they get the same issue (which might not happen anymore if it was fixed since).

Comment 8 Samuel Verschelde 2015-06-02 14:51:22 CEST

We can't reproduce since we don't have the hardware. Reopen if someone has the same bug.
