VMWare Fusion seemed pretty good to me. X worked out of the box with the VMWare graphics driver included as part of the Gutsy standard install; no manual adding necessary, it detected it itself. Mouse worked too. I've been using it all evening, and it's been working flawlessly and with no complaints from me about speed, even when moving windows. :-) Even stuff like dragging files from the OSX Finder to the Ubuntu window and having that file appear on the Ubuntu desktop Just Worked. Compiz doesn't even *try* to work, of course, and I miss what that gives, but apart from that it's fine. You expect it to be a *bit* slower than running natively, and that's exactly what it is; a *bit* slower. This, btw, was a Core 2 Duo Macbook, installing the Gutsy AMD64 version, with the "Ubuntu 64 bit" preset selected. How recently did you test? :-) Anyway, this is getting a bit offtopic for the bug in question... -- Rachel -- [Gutsy RC] Wireless adapter not detected on MacBook Pro rev.3 (santa rosa) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125919 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
