Hello everyone. I want to report that I installed Intrepid Alpha-6 on my
optiplex 745 (out of frustration) and all the problems went away! The wide
screen monitor now has the correct resolution, and all the system freezes,
etc., are gone.

Here is a tip in case you give Intrepid a try: most likely your internet
connection will fail, if you have a static IP address. This is a known
bug. The current workaround is to, in synaptic, remove all four packages
that appear as installed if you search for "network manager". Upon
restarting, the system will use the previous settings and the connection
will be reestablished. Apparently one has to do this with every upgrade
that reinstalls network manager.
