Amazingly i have now been able to run repro.sh without any noticable
problems, I decided to start compiz
from a terminal was was told that my graphics id 00:02.0 VGA
compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 0c) was blacklisted and I thought well i knew
this.
but then as I tried to reply to a ubuntu-mail list I noticed my
keyboard was not working. I could pulldown menus, my caps lock would
toggle on /off but i could not type, i was able to open a terminal
with ctrl alt f2
so i ssh into this sick machine and did the
https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-freeze-test
instructions. i will have to visit launchpad to paste the files.
