Hello everyone.
I am running 8.10 on Toshiba Satellite which is 7 years old. It has Nvidia GeForce 4 440 Go with 32mb of memory on it. Also there is 1Gb of Ram. Everything works pretty well, except recently I've noticed that when it goes to screensaver, the graphics freezes. It only happens in fullscreen. When in windowed mode - it all runs nicely. The Nvidia driver version is 96. Also when playing .avi video in fullscreen, it may freeze or become choppy in the process. For some reason this was not happening before when I just installed the 8.10.

Does anyone have any ideas or may have encountered the similar issue. I'd appreciate any input...

thx.
