Re: Upgrade to 9.10?

The initial video problems caused the graphic UI to crash, dropping you to
the command prompt to login, with the screen flickering 2-3 times per
second. If you managed to get past that, then you could continue on from
the command line, assuming you could find the right drivers. Took me four
days to get it straightened out, with the help from individuals on the
forums.

The only problem I have seen since then is the CD Burner won't recognize
blank CD-Rs.

Actually, that is probably the exact problem I was having and why I had to
finish my install by booting into the command prompt. So, if anybody does
have that issue, just know that you can fix it pretty easily by finishing
the upgrade from the command prompt.

DO NOT use proprietary video drivers when upgrading to 9.10! Switch back
to generic video drivers before upgrading. Most of the problems I saw on
the forums was due to problems with drivers for Nvidia and (IIRC) ATI.
