Hi all

Just installed 8.2, a few problems came up.

1) I set my color depth to 32bpp during the install - when I rebooted the 
display was set to 8bpp. Not a big problem really.

2) Does 8.2 contain the NVIDIA drivers? If so, it didn't configure them for 
my card (TNT2 Ultra).

3) Round 1: Running Gnome 1.4, went into the background changing part of the 
control center, selected "use a picture" or whatever, clicked the "Browse" 
button... the cursor got really jerky, and eventually the whole system locked 
up... had to power down.

Round 2: Rebooted, tried the same thing again, cursor started to get jerky,
eventually an empty window appeared, with "Backgrounds" or something similar
as the title, then a gnome crash dialog came up, saying that "panel" had 
segfaulted... clicking ok restarted the panel which segfaulted again... and
again... until I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. At which point X tried to restart, 
failed, and eventually the system went back to initlevel 3 :(

So... is gnome 1.4 meant to be stable, or is this development stuff? I 
thought 2.0 was the development branch. I think I'll be sticking with 8.1 for 
the time being anyway...

Nick
