Hmmm, that does make me wonder if it's not a hardware or Xorg problem, but as I said the out-of-box Ubuntu GNOME sessions work quite well as does Lubuntu. My hardware is simple: Intel Atom CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Intel N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02) 2GB DDR2 RAM And the "flashback (no effects)" session works OK beginning with either Edubuntu or Ubuntu, just not if I begin with Ubuntu GNOME.
