I am new to Linux and Ubuntu and have the apparently troublesome Rage 128. I was surprised (disappointed) to encounter the Molecules bug 10 minutes after my first install of Ubuntu 8.10. I can't change it because entering the screensaver menu freezes the system. I must reinstall Ubuntu (or remove the Molecule file) if I want to avoid rebooting the system using the power cord. Not a very encouraging intro to Linux and Ubuntu. It crashed almost as many times in one evening as with the other OS over 5 years. I used my older computer system and at the time the Rage 128 cards were very popular for home and business. There are likely many more users that will encounter this problem. I'm now concerned other applications that may have similar problems with this card. Hopefully this bug will get some needed attention. Also helpful is to disable the preview as the default when entering the screensaver menu. That would allow bypassing the bug. Thanks.
