There're serious instabilities with nvidia-legacy chips and xorg in gutsy.I hope someone is fixing it and will make run a pc with B-Athlon, KT133 and GF2MX out of the box.I vote for dapper that still features desktop support.

If it's a fresh install can't you just re-install?

Well, nvidia-legacy CHIPS or drivers? :) I've got nVidia GeForce 7600 GT 512 MB and everything is perfect. I used to work with nvidia-glx, later I tried nvidia-glx-new. Now I've uninstalled ubuntu nvidia proprietory drivers and everything connected having done a fresh install of nvidia linux drivers from their official site after that. I should say I'm totally amazed with the system efficiency. It's really faster and provides better 3D rendering than my Windoze does. P.S. Your xorg config could be messed up or something but there are simply no "instabilities" at all, dude. I've tried tried different sys ops under ubuntu. All of them worked "out of the box" even with Compiz :)
