Chris, I tried the VESA driver and my video went completely crazy. I don't know whether I changed two things at once or whether it just didn't work. I had to reboot in safe mode and copy a backup of xorg.conf to / etc/Xll and reboot again to get my video working at all again. Should it work with the Intel 810 video chip set? Lawrence, Everything worked fine under 6.06 so I really think it is an induced bug in something they (the Ubuntu developers) did between 6.06 and 8.04. My box has had consistent latency around 11000 to 15000 without the SMI module installed. I am running 1280x1024 mode with "configured device". The box has no identifying information on it and I got it used so I have no idea what brand it is.
