On DOS-based OSs, there is good reason to use only logicals on all but

I'll second (third?) Ubuntu-Eee ( www.ubuntu-eee.com ) which I'm using
from my Eee 901 right now. It is based
clogged with dust or fluff. In normal desktop use, it
only runs in 2D and never gets loaded. But when running a 3D game for
a while, it would be running flat out, overheat and possibly cook
itself.

Anyway, I'm not taken with Xandros, and I'm going to be supporting
this little beast.

If you later need to adjust it, boot from your Ubuntu live desktop CD
and use the Partition Editor. Don't try moving system folders around
by hand - it's too risky!

, but that's a fairly well-known issue - it affects Linux
Mint as well, for example - and I found an answer with Google. (Remove
the existing xorg.conf and the nvidia program writes a new one.)

initial kernel boot parameters are not picked up in installed version
designed in the expectation that they would at all times be run on a
machine protected by a UPS with automatic shutdown, because that's
just what you /do/ with big corporate servers. It's not even a
question.
Alas, it's *not* a given in Linux-land...

Due partly to this and partly to Bug #112107, I had to abandon Compiz
and revert to plain 2D Metacity. I have not yet upgraded my main PC to
Gutsy, so I've not tried it in 7.10 yet. My testbed PC is too old to
support Compiz and I have had to remove Ubuntu from my notebook due to
multiple hardware
Public bug reported:
This bug is the same problem as closed issues bug #8093 and bug #8289.
It may have been fixed before - it worked in 6.06 - but it has
reappeared and affects the 7.10 beta.
My machine (IBM ThinkPad model i1200 Series 1161-93G, DVD-ROM, 320MB
RAM, 20GB HD, latest BIOS) needs
This appears to be related to the problem in bug #31036 as well. I was
not changing the VGA parameters, so the resolution to #31036 does not
apply.

The comment attached to bug #28102 about adding parameters after the
terminal -- on the kernel line *may* apply. I can't readily test it;
an installation on this machine takes 2-3 hours.
I've not seen this documented anywhere else before; perhaps it needs to
be more widely known?
** Description
I discovered this trying to install the 7.10 beta.
However, I previously tried and failed to install 7.04 on the same
machine as well. I think that the problem I described was why I was
unable to successfully get GRUB to boot the PC.
The laptop is an IBM ThinkPad i1200 Series model 1161-93G,
Public bug reported:
The default kernel entries in GRUB's menu.lst have parameters both on
the end of the kernel line and as a separate line.
For example, from my installed 7.04 system:

I have since tried disabling Compiz and this feature started working
correctly again. It thus appears to be a problem with Compiz, at least
when running in nVidia TwinHead mode.

I am running a multihead system with 2 17 monitors, positioned left
right.
If I have multiple maximized windows, when a window is minimized to the

does not return to the same screen. E.g. if I have a

recall no discussion about it.
