Which PowerBook (there are a lot of 'em, some even dating back to 1991
(yeah, right, Ubuntu on a machine that probably couldn't take more
than 8 MB of memory)... of course, I doubt that you could even get
Ubuntu working on a 5300 without being more than just a bit of a Linux
expert ;-)? I'm guessing you're a Lombard, Pismo or 12" PB G4 since
you're talking about 1024x768.

On my PB G3 Pismo I still have "normal" cursors and resolution but
have run into a quirk with Nautilus -- all my "generic" icons on the
desktop have gone 'dog eared' and the Nautilus-related icons in the
"Places" menu disappeared!

You may not want to be on Warty if you don't like funny business like
that ;). I'm sure it'll get fixed in no time!

PS What resolution do your terminals use? 1024X768?

Eric.
