I've just upgraded from dapper to edgy. The display is now a mess.
Dragging a window on the desktop isn't smooth, looks like a redraw
problem. And scrolling in Firefox isn't smooth. It's become almost
unusable.
Also, there are now only two workspaces. Is there some way to set it back
to the four that it used to be?
I am a newbie at Ubuntu, but have been using Mandriva for several
years, and what I learned there on Mandriva was that the "upgrade"
install option rarely worked. Usually a full install works better
(backup ~ of course).
And my experience has been that with Debian based distributions an upgrade
usually works quite well. With one caveat. It is insane to upgrade at the
earliest possible moment. A lesson I learned long ago with DEC - never go
with version 1 of anything. This is the same reason no sane person would
ever install MS before service pack two is available. There are simply too
many gotchas. I just upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu 5.10 to 6.06 about
three weeks ago - I judged it finally ready to go.
