I have 8.10 on three machines and it works really well EXCEPT for video management. For some reason the folks that developed the program gutted all of the video controls and now all you get is basic vanilla. Screens work, but a battle to get the proper resolutions, screens are not recognized as what they are, no rotational options and so on and so on and so on. Intrepid has been out officially for a month now and no progress has been made at either Ubutntu or the seriously understaffed and overworked folks at Envy.
It boils down to the fact that they pulled "screens and graphics" from the 8.10 build. That program WORKED and they substituted a program that supposedly was to be automatic that is NOT auto!
Because of this, I would LOVE to be able to install 8.04 instead, (I want my graphics BACK .. had them in Gutsy!) as the graphics WORK on that one. Can I do this without destroying everything I have installed that is working now?
