Default

FWIW when I went Ubuntu 10.04 the default install used noveau (open source Nvidia drivers) by default which didn't work at all (hated my three monitor setup too!) so I used the proprietary nvidia drivers - EQ became pretty flakey and tended to crash a lot. Recently when the video board on my wife's machine died I upgraded mine (my machine always gets the upgrades, all the others get hand me downs LOL) to a new nvidia GT240 board which needed a new version of the nvidia drivers, which don't happen automagically, you have to go in and select the new driver in the proprietary driver tool. EQ is back to being rock solid and fast with the new driver...

Regards,
Mg
