It's great that people test development versions, of course :) it's not great when they say "argh, $release+1 just ate all my hard work!", but thankfully that doesn't happen very often ;) It might be worth using the forums though - you'll probably find more gutsy users in the gutsy form than anywhere else (maybe #ubuntu+1 on freenode) Cheers, -- Chris Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.canonical.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

You don't happen to have one of those keyboards with a button
("F-mode" or some such) which changes the meaning of the function keys
do you? Took me weeks to work that one out on one of my putes.

You can run what you like on your computer, they can run what they want and so can I :) You asked for tips, and that was my tip. > > You could try setting the video mode at boot "vga=791" or something > > similar. > > Try booting to an older kernel, or in recovery mode. > > > Tried these but no joy...Heard from the Ubuntu newsgroup others have > suffered but most of them have cleared on the latest upgrade... > Difficult to diagnose without more information.

"Don't run bleeding-edge development software if you can't fix it". You could try setting the video mode at boot "vga=791" or something similar. Try booting to an older kernel, or in recovery mode.
