Hi Lionel, you could try booting from the latest live desktop CD and
checking if the screen driver works. If so possibly something has gone
wrong with the upgrade from 8.04. If this is the case a fresh install of
the distro could potentially fix it. I haven't been able to update to the
final release of 8.10 as I'm away from home for a while so can't tell you
how I went. Previously the screen was working with the release candidate,
but without much graphics acceleration.
