Ok, so X-server and X-client are on same machine, which works fine for most folks (they don't even notice that there is a client/server interaction). The graphics driver has to be a suspect, after all. As you noticed, the more recent the distribution, Ubuntu or otherwise, the more likely the graphics and other drivers work properly with the hardware. No guarantees of course. For at least some of your work, I wonder if you might be better served by installing various Ubuntu releases on this PC as virtual machines running in Windows using, say, VirtualBox. Not for realtime testing, of course. Regards, Kent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
