I found I had a copy of my xorg.conf from when I was running FC5. (backups are a wonderous thing).
I noticed that the most likely difference was in the device section: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 9000]" # Driver "ati" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection I just switched from the "ati" to my FC5 value of "radeon". I thought I had found the fix, but with a little more effort caused it to happen again. -- visual bug in gnome terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
