Ah, good catch. I am not sure about the driver (I cannot check it right now because I am not in my lab). If I specify the via driver in the lts.conf file, I suspect it is using the stock xorg driver. Is that true? If so, I think this might be the problem. By the way, my server video performance is horrible as well. Perhaps that is the common thread. Is there a way to stick with the Gutsy install but use the via driver from previous versions? I know xorg is quite finicky about driver compatibility but perhaps the versions are not so different in driver specs.<br>
<br>Thanks for the questions. They are leading me at least in a direction to figure out the source of my problem.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 5, 2008 3:11 PM, Richard Doyle <<a href="mailto:rdoyle@islandnetworks.com">rdoyle@islandnetworks.com</a>> wrote:<br>
