dapper freezes or reboots without warning
i could use a little assistance please. my install of dapper has recently taken to either restarting the graphical interface or freezing completely, requiring a hard shutdown.
i don't even know where to look to see what is the problem; is there an equivalent of windows event viewer? how can i tell if it's x or gdm? would reinstalling the gnome-desktop meta package refresh all the files, if one's corrupt?
looking forward to hearing from anyone with a clue!

firefox in linux
greetings good people of the ubuntu community,
firefox has been a pain in the *** for me. i find it, really bloated. and i also have some major problems with the flash plugin.
first of all, i'm using gentoo linux, in a pc with 1gb of ram, and a processor of 3.2ghz, which is more than enough for my needs. anyway, so i'm having firefox, a konsole with irssi open and amarok. in firefox i have 3 tabs open, including one with a flash video. when i'm switching tabs or changing between programs, i get full 3 or more seconds of waiting. also, in digg.com, i'm getting a hueg lagfest, taking me a while to scroll, and pressing the links will freeze firefox for like 2secs.. is this normal? i mean... i'm getting less freezing in windows...
also, about the flash player...
i'm attaching the info from about: plugins here, before i describe my problem:
quote:
shockwave flash
file name: libflashplayer.so
shockwave flash 9.0 r31
mime type description suffixes enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash shockwave flash swf yes
application/futuresplash futuresplash player spl yes
so, well... the problem only appears in flash videos (like in youtube, metacafe etc.). the videos basicaly freeze. usually in the second or third second, but sometimes in the middle of it. to fix it, i'll have to kill firefox and start it again. also, flash is really laggy, and makes the whole page much more bloated than normally a flash application would.
any ideas?
thanks!
edit: you probably want to move this thread in "general help" :/

wireless question
i've been trying to get my wireless connection to work for while now, but with no sucess. i have a cnet cwp-854 pci card and i can see ra0 under the network manager, however, when i configure it and active it, ubuntu simply won't boot next time and i end up having to re-install everything. also, i don't know what my chipset is. when i type lspci -n | less, i get the following output:
code:
0000:00:0a.0 network controller: ralink: unknown device 0301
subsytem: ralink: unknown device 2561however, when i type iwconfig, after ra0 appears rt61. i'm not sure if this is just the driver that comes with ubuntu, or the chipset of my card. to make things even more complicated, i don't have a ethernet connection, so i have to keep switching from ubuntu to xp. however, i'm determined to get it to work, so please, could someone help me out?

new to edgy; need some help with beryl
hi all. brand new to ubuntu (using edgy). after a couple of days tinkering around on the forums, my sony vgn-t270p laptop seems to be performing flawlessly. now i'm interested in using beryl. after a friend told me about it, i checked out their site. wow!
this laptop uses intel integrated graphics (855gm). will it handle beryl?
if it can, what do i use? xgl? aiglx? what do those even mean?
do i install via synaptic or add/remove?
any help would be appreciated. thanks.
