Dave, (& Steve and anyone else who sent helpful suggestions)

I gave up. I did edit the grub--though it was not grub2--and put in the phrase i915...but my lockup/freeze problems still happened. BTW, when I would do another boot and enter grub edit mode my addition after quiet splash was not there. I have tried installing 10.04 (this from Update Manager and 10.10 from live dvd/install disc) but in both cases my keyboard/screen would stop responding before I could type in my password (on the series of installation screens). Sorry to say I'm sending this from my wife's Mac while I install U9.10 on my desktop. BTW, I am running the latest Mint--Isadora based on 10.x--on my Compaq Presario laptop w/o problems but when I tried installing it on my Dell Dimension it froze up. I think I'm back to plan B which is to order a new desktop from ZaReason with U10.04 installed. I have to leave for 2 weeks on the 22nd so all this will have to come to a halt in a couple of days. I'm still willing to try things but wondering if I can't even get past the setup screens how I can modify my system. I also understand you all may be running down on good Samaritan energy--it is much appreciated...sk

Had the same problem but got it fixed.  When you install 10.10, on the first install screen there will options on what to load.  Be sure to check off all boxes for updates and third party software,  hope this helps you.

I have posted this general question numerous times on the Ubuntu forums without a single reply. Not whining just wondering if anyone has an answer. Here's my problem: using a Dell Dimension B110 with Celeron, 2G RAM, 63G available HD, single boot Ubuntu 9.10. I have been using Ubuntu since V. 6 w/o too many problems. Both V. 10.04 and V. 10.10 will cause lockup/freeze of keyboard or mouse or screen or any combination that can only be cured with hard reboot. The aplet that forces a misbehaving application to quit also doesn't work to get me out of this. I have now started to see a recurring problem with the mouse such that I often have to click more than once to get a response. This is in V. 9.10. I am using a MS wireless optical mouse (1007) and MS Optical Photo Keyboard (1027). I've had this setup for several years.



I'm thinking of getting a new computer from ZaReason (they assure me everything will work perfectly with their equipment although they want me to buy their keyboard and mouse. Doesn't seem unreasonable) or trying another Linux flavor--Mandrake?? Any comments would be appreciated...sk
