My Genius WizardPen 5x4 Pen Tablet worked in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty perfectly by just plugging it in but in Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy it is totally useless. This is really disappointing since I'll have to delete Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy and go back to feisty If I can't fix this.
Also I don't normally report any problems or bugs so I don't know whether to report a problem with gnome-ppp dialer and vodafone huwei E220 modem. It works perfectly with Ubuntu Ultimate1.4 and 1.5 (based on feisty).
With Gutsy its easy enough to configure and get working at first, but after using the modem for a day or even sometimes a few hours, via gnome-ppp dial, it goes from finding the modem and connecting to the net to not recognizing the modem at all and its a total lottery whether it finds it again at all. I went a full two days without gnome-ppp dialer (Ubuntu Gutsy) being able to connect to the net or find the modem at all.
This is a major problem for me. Any help would be appreciated, but even better is that people are aware of and are working on these problems.
Also with compiz effects activated in Gutsy if you view a picture/image file in full screen mode the screen flickers (black) on and off uncontrollably. There are also other compiz irritations/errors too numerous to mention. Why does compiz / Aiglx work so well in Beryl (almost perfectly) but the standard versions of Ubuntu has so much trouble with 3d effects.
