I'm a relative n00be who recently upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid and have run into video problems.
Blank screen after switching to a different user profile (almost a show-stopper)
Error when trying to switch to visual effects > none (annoying)
It wasn't a clean install.. I used Hardy's update manager.
Could sure use some help!
