Great to hear that but the reason I asked for the files was that if it is a 
bug then we could report it to whoever is in ubuntu team that is in charge of 
X.org. If it is not a bug then we could figure out if it is the hardware 
problem or the configuration issue. That is how we learn about Linux , from 
eachother problems. I would still be interested to know what caused that 
X.org problem.
