problem was still there - lowering colors to 16 bit seemed to deal with it on 1440x900. replaced monitor with the 1920x1080 with 16 bit colors - still ok.
So I guess my card/system has to low memory to handle 1920x1080x24. (256 MB video, 2 gigs of main memory) well - the setup program could have guessed that, I guess - still - happy I found the advice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708688 Title: Xorg freeze upon using scrollbar in terminal window -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
