Hello,

I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 a few days ago. Unfortunately, I have numerous problems, among them being:

1. In wine, CTRL + ALT keys get "stuck" randomly (without being pressed in the first place), causing regular keyboard typing to become impossible without restarting the application.

2. After a while of usage, the GUI suddenly will have a problem, with the monitor output consisting of many lines and distortion. If it happens again, I can post a screenshot, since I can tell everything is still working, but I can't actually see anything useful (color changes let me know scrolling in firefox, switching desktops, etc do something).

3. My intellimouse back/forth buttons don't work.

The first one is probably the biggest problem, since I rely on Wine for several things. I haven't posted about the second, and the third is minor and probably the result of a config override. I don't have desktop effects enabled.

Unfortunately, this puts my computer in a state that is difficult to work with. 8.04 seems to have been packaged with a lot of Beta software, such as Firefox 3, which doesn't make too much sense to me for an LTS release.

Can anyone point me to downgrade/fallback instructions for reverting to 7.10?

Thanks,
Dylan

PS: Helping me with the above problems would be nice too, but until I fix these problems, I think I need to downgrade.

Hmm, so then it seems there isn't an easy way to downgrade.

Ahh, well. In that case, can anyone help me with those problems, especially # 1 and 2, which have been occuring randomly?

Nevermind, I started a new thread for Problem 2:
