Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
I installed from the 10.10 beta netbook iso, and then used 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' to get the latest updates.
I do not believe this is a duplicate of bug #579683, because I am running the latest version of unity and mutter

Clint, and anyone else who has this problem, have you see Vish's comment on bug #608361? /bugs.edge. launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ unity/+ bug/608361/ comments/ 8
https:/
He recommends doing this from the command line: xorg-video- <driver>
$ ubuntu-bug xserver-
where <driver> would correspond to the graphics card your system has.
Once you've done that, you need to "also affects" Unity. You can then mark this bug as a duplicate of that one (so that folks are pointed in the right direction when they come here).
Thanks!
