That all looks perfect to me. I think I vaguely remember someone else reporting problems with Ubuntu seemingly interfering with xt5250, but I don't know for sure. I know there are others on this list using Ubuntu and xt5250, perhaps someone can chime in on this?

Is there any chance that Ubuntu has a different desktop environment (i.e. not Gnome)? I'm not blaming Ubuntu or Gnome or anything, just wondering what different scenarios to test.

the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
