I've got a fit-pc2 that I'd like to use as a desktop machine. I installed Ubuntu Lucid (desktop version) on it, and then followed the instructions at:

http://www.fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php/I ... buntu_9.10

...substituting "lucid" for "karmic" where applicable. (In other words, I installed the packages at http://fit-pc2.com/download/ubuntu/dists/lucid/binary/)

Things seem to mostly work, except whenever I resize a window, it gets all corrupt, like this:

Sometimes that causes the whole machine to get locked up... sometimes it doesn't.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

Thanks

Hello

Please set visual effects to "none"

Thanks, that seems to have fixed the problem. Do you know what particular visual effect causes the problem? I'd prefer to just disable that one, rather than put everything in low-effects mode.
