Hi all, I'm wondering if someone can help me with my problem. It seems that sometimes Unity boots no problem, and then at other times, I get the warning that my PC doesn't have the proper display card (yadda yadda) and the machine boots in classic mode. Obviously, though, my card (http://www.trustedreviews.com/Sapphire-Radeon-X850-XT-Platinum-Edition_PC-Component_review) is sufficient, though, as it sometimes boots no problem.
What exacerbates the problem further is that if I try to Log Out so that I can log into safe mode, or Classic mode, or Unity Mode, I get crazy squiggly lines on my monitor and my whole system freezes. Very strange indeed.
