Possible ubuntu video driver bug

[John]

You may want to try the Nvidia drivers as it looks like you're using the nouveau drivers. You may want to search on google how to disable the nouveau and enable the nvidia as I'm not sure my way is the best.

I briefly took this discussion with Michael offlist.  Anyway, the system seemed to behave itself better with kde minimal, but still locked up once.  I tried xfce again and fought with it to configure the menu like I wanted.

http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu in case anyone's interested.

Thanks to this depression the politicians say is we're not in the middle of, I had to move to America's bug factory (Kentucky).  Since money is tight I'll have to make do with the card I have now for a bit longer. I'd like to thank all of you who have helped me figure out what the problem is.  I'll keep these emails so when I can get another card, I'll have some ideas about where to get one.  Try to imagine living in Lukeville and not being able to make a quick trip to Fry's or your neighborhood computer store on a whim.

It's two hours later here so I'm off to bed.
