Smooth upgrade from my end - then again I was only upgrading my son's
box and the only thing I had to do was disable the Dansguardian/Squid
proxy settings before I upgraded...
Brat.

Hi
I am also having problems with two screens. I have tried the Nvidia
configuration tool to no effect. Any information on fixing this would
be welcome.
Graphics did slow down but only after I started randomly switching on
Compiz effects. The Shift Switcher doesn't like the water drops effect!

1. smbfs is uninstalled and not replaced. Easy fixed.
Didn't happen to me, things keep right on keeping on.
2. VMware Server from the feisty repos has not been upgraded. Only
solution was to uninstall and install from a download from vmware.
Relatively easily fixed.
Workstation also is broken, well the version I was running. I found a
patch that does overcome the problem which was mentioned on the Ubuntu
forums. Not liking the patch much I downloaded the latest version of
workstation and it installed fine.
3. Dual screens - not working. Hmmm. There's a gui now, so
theoretically no need to start editing the xorg.conf file. No luck.
Google for the answers. There are now two ways of doing this. The
gui way uses xinerama. The manual way uses xrandr. Aaaaaargh!
Feisty was very kind to me over this - by turning off xinerama my two
screens came up as two desktops - very handy. Gusty initialises one
desktop and leaves the other blank. bugger! Much more research
required.
And as I'm trying to work in between trying different ideas, I find
that the graphics performance has slowed to a crawl. It take 20 - 30
seconds to redraw a table in a word processor.
I use only a single screen but haven't encountered any issues with
graphics performance. I use an old Ti4200 and have Compiz installed and
a number of visual effects enabled, as snappy as Feisty on which I was
using Beryl. The upgrade automatically swapped Beryl for Compiz and did
take a little figuring.
