  Is it just me?  I can't change screen resolution at all!
When I attempt, I get a smaller screen in the upper left corner of my
monitor.  Not even re-starting X solves this.

Screensavers are now very slow (GL ones I think) Atunnel crawls by at
under 1 screen per second. OTOH Bouncing Globe is perhaps 5 screens per
second, but the shadow effect is jagged - looks terrible!  Graphics card
is ATI radeon 7200


There are now so many bugs in my test system that I am unsure as to what
may be causing them.  Since Friday, my panel often crashes when changing
preferences such as background, but this is not regular - as it will do
it 2 or three times and then it will work fine!  Don't know if I should
re-install or just give up and wait 2 weeks for test 2.  Not doing
Bugzilla in case I'm alone in these problems.
