I did a fresh stand alone install of "Jaunty" on my spare HDD. Installed the "Restricted Drivers" when prompted. Also ran the "Updates" as well.

Very impressed with "Jaunty"... except for.... an annoying flickering of the screen whenever I run an application with either Wine or CrossOver. Both programmes execute and slows down to a crawl. One of the 2 cpu's run at 100% while the other is less than 6%.

I am running the same version CrossOver and Wine that I was running on "Hardy" which run without a glitch.

Other than that, "Jaunty" runs very well. If I am not mistaken, I believe it performs quicker than "Hardy".

Any suggestions or fixes would be appreciated.

note: "Visual Effects" are set to "none"

Machine specs:

Intel E2200 dual core (32bit). 3 gig ram. ATI Radeon 2400 Pro grafx card. SyncMaster 940n LCD monitor. No other "bells and whistles". Just a basic "Box"
