-- I am running 64 bit 11.10, upgraded from 11.04, on HP dv6000 laptop --
Issue 1: Mouse suddenly freezes
When I get to the log-in page for Ubuntu 11.10 the mouse is always working fine. When I log-in, sometimes the mouse will be frozen but the keyboard still works. Other times it works normal. Sometimes it will be working normal, and then all of a sudden it freezes. Sometimes it is working normal, I leave to do something for a while, come back, log in, and then it is frozen. I noticed this last time that I was able to log in as "Guest" and the mouse was fine there but frozen in my account. Logging out and back in does nothing. Restarting does nothing at first. If I keep shutting down and rebooting a few times, eventually the mouse works, usually after I click the "freeze the mouse" button on and off a few times. (this button is not the cause -- already checked that!)
Issue 2: White screen
Sometimes when I am away for several hours from the computer, I come back, and am confronted with a white screen. Nothing seems to make this go away. I have to hard restart. This did not happen with 11.04.
Issue 3: Flash and PDFs
Flash things sometimes don't display at all. PDFs sometimes show up as a blank white window until I make the window smaller or larger and then the text shows up, but then if I maximize it will often revert back to a blank window. The info is there, but it is not displaying. Maybe there is something else I have to do for flash and pdfs beyond the basic 11.10 upgrade?
Any insight much appreciated. Thank you.
