My main office PC with an 8X AGP GeForce 5200 can no longer run Ubuntu as of 12.10. I actually started using 12.04 and used a combination of a Unity with Autohide turned on and minimum sensitivity + CairoDock GL - when I wanted the Unity menu I just pressed the "SUPER" key, otherwise I used the Cairo Dock icons on the bottom of the screen. I actually grew to like 12.04 but 12.10 seemed like a regression to me because it could not support my ancient video card. I could log on, the desktop would appear but no menus or panel...and no way to revert to "Classic" or "2D" in 12.10. I switched to the XFCE version of MINT - the reason I stopped using LINUX several years ago is that every time a new release of my fav distro came out some sort of critical functionality that worked well in the previous release was all of the sudden broken. Iit's been 5 years without worrying about that feeling with Ubuntu, however 12.10 brought back the frustration. As far as I know there is no easy workaround other than buying a new video card and this machine just isn't that fancy.. Thanks for your hard work, Maybe some day I will try Ubuntu on a tablet or a TV (I am still a mythbuntu user) and it will make sense again. John On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 6:20 PM, Rickard
