Since upgrading to Karmic I cannot use any visual effects. Gnome seems to lock up if I change the visual effects to "normal" or "extra". The time display stops updating and my browser (and dialog boxes) will not update.
I even installed Nvidia driver 190.42, but that didn't help.
I did have to edit my xorg.conf to get the correct resolution. The auto configuration did not work. Here is my xorg.conf:
