[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 9.04 Performance Issue

[Robert Flatters]

The problem i am having are two fold. the first is my graphic card, Nvidia
G4 400, the res is crap it set at 600 x400 and every time i try and reboots
a message is displayed stating that the graphics were incorrect and it will
boot up in minimum settings.

The second fold of my problem is to do with when the system has not been
used for awhile and it starts the screen saver, but ends up with a cursor
flash in the top left hand side of the screen.

Not sure if anyone has come across these issues at all.

Regards

Bob
