I tried the

which produced some weird results at first, but resizing worked. But then I had
to re-enable compiz, and now with compiz back, the resizing seems to work.
Thanks also for the tip on ALT-mouse scroll wheel to resize. A useful thing to
remember if it fails agai

I have been using Ubuntu 9.04 since it was released, but today I have

Looking through the bugs I found this:

Adding i915.modeset=0 to the boot options fixed it!
This is something that is mentioned in the beta release notes

do you get anything on screen as it boots? Does it get as far as the
login screen when you have it installed?
you could report a bug in xserver-xorg-video-intel
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel
there are probably clues in /var/log/Xorg.0.log as to what is going on.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop and have been running 9.04

Hi Liam,
As with all things Free and Open Source, you have a lot of choices...

Cheers rob,
But what I was really looking for was a way to set up a network between my
laptop and my netbook without having to use samba, and cut the XP machine
out.
Because I know that Linux doesn't need to use samba to create a network
between two comps using Ubuntu, I just don't know how to set
9.04 connected to windows shares both on XP and Win 7.
