Hi Russ,

sometimes it's very difficult for us linux users. In our company I'm nearly the only one coming from a linux system.

If it is unpossible to get the bug-/patch-information from SUN then I suppose you've two alternatives:

1. downgrade to hardy
2. downgrade only xorg-parts to 1.3 or 1.4-version

As the second part (I saw some howto's around the web for doing this) results in an somehow mixed system state nobody really wants I'd prefer downgrade to hardy. Many apps are backported to hardy and most admins like us don't need more than is provided. Not to forget hardy is LTS and so supported for the next years.

This way you have to think about these xorg-1.5-problems first after hardy support has gone.

Have a nice day and fun with ubuntu - regardless of which version.

Regards,
Marcel
