Re: No icons(only wallpaper) on sreen in trial ubuntu netbook
Here is an idea. I haven't done this as I upgraded to Natty and Unity but Unity is working great for me even though it is still beta. Download and make your Natty install from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
Boot to this and verify that your video isn't a problem. If not, live a bit on the edge and go for it. I use it on my Toshiba Satellite and Acer add on monitor. During alpha it was quite rocky but now during beta it has been very solid. You'll know from the start if the video will be a problem and if not you'll have the best you can do for your system.
Give it a thought.
