Yes your right the "Old version" is definitely a work around. It would be nice to see the bug resolved though because on my WinXP machine both modes run fine.
On a side note I have also found the performance to be oddly better with my NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT with the open source drivers than the nvidia- glx-new drivers from restricted. This is unfortunate because I cannot use Compiz-fusion with the open source ones. -- Slow performance with Gmail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217580 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
