One was upgraded from 8.04, one is a clean install, and one is a wubi install in the xp of what was a dual boot xp and vista box. Two of those three are using nvidia cards (not new ones). I have seen some odd issues but not what you describe. And most of the odd issues I attribute to using it with an ANCIENT projector. The others seem to be oddness that happened during install/upgrade and went away once video drivers were stable. On the other hand, I noticed a fair numbers of video issues on the ubuntu forums. -- Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. - William Hazlitt --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
