On Windows xp, I got no problems. Everything works just fine. Games, movies, everything. The thing is, I do NOT want to use Windows anymore. And since I tried Ubuntu I have run into too many problems related to video-stuff. VIDEO-RELATED ISSUES I can not run a movie using the apropriate codec. (using gstreamer codec to watch .avi video format). (1)There is a sound delay. (2)The movie gets paused unexpectedly. (3)When rewinding/forwarding the movie, the image gets blured. This happens with compiz-fusion turned off and Metacity is selected as my default window manager. I don't know whose fault it is: intel's, OGL's driver (that's why I emailed <A href="mailto:michel@tungstengraphics.com">michel@tungstengraphics.com</A>) or X's. GAME-RELATED ISSUES (4)When exiting a game that was launched on fullscreen mode, my video resolution is set to 640x480. (5)Performance is very very poor running games with Compiz-fusion enabled. I still don't know why this happens.. And it doesn't change when compiz-fusion is turned off. Is this because of open GL? (6)As if the video card not working @100% of what I believe it's capable of wasn't enough, the audio fails to work properly as well (with Compiz-Fusion enabled). OTHER ISSUES Compiz-fusion: (7)when it's enabled, everything else runs too slowly. (8)I can't even scroll my gmail page up and down... It seems gmail is too heavy (something really annoying) I wish you could provide me a definite solution to get this solved, Mr. Jin. Like I said, I'm on Ubuntu hardy heron. Please tell me if this video card's behavior is normal. Or what I should do to get rid of this poor-performance issue. Seeing this video card not fully working on Ubuntu is really frustrating. Thank you, Rodolfo. </BODY></HTML>
