Hurray comrades! This long-awaited day has arrived!
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS aka [Lucid Lynx] released
Undoubtedly, this is one of the most significant events of several years, and many sites have long managed to highlight this event.

Once you read this, you are faced with the same problem as me.

1. In Ubuntu 10.04, after installing ATI's proprietary drivers, with Compiz enabled, there is a noticeable “slowdown” when the minimized window is maximized ( about half a second delay ).
2. Ubunt-new Splash, which plymouth, "loses" its resolution and looks poor.
')
Both of these problems have already been solved, and in the sequel I will tell you how ...

Let's start with solving the problem of "braking"

She, the problem lies in the drivers themselves, they work with concretely xserver.

For a long time, there is a patch to solve this problem, but the independent imposition of the patch and the subsequent build of the package are not available to every user, for various reasons.

The strength of the community is that there are users who can independently fix / build the package independently of the developers.
And have the desire to share this correction with everyone else.

The user Alf Gaida did just that, with which I used the fixed package, for which the emu - thank you so much .

In order to install a package, you need to add it to the PPA and perform a system update, this will lead to updating the xserver-xorg package and fixing the unfortunate bug.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:info-g-com/xserver-xorg-1.7.6-gc
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade

Moving on to solving the second problem.

The decision is made here , but optimized by me.

Open /etc/default/grub find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and change to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option= 1280x800 -24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"

After that we find GRUB_GFXMODE and attach the following view:

GRUB_GFXMODE= 1280x800

Next, open /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add the following line:

uvesafb mode_option= 1280x800 -24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap

Now install the v86d package and update grub:

sudo aptitude install v86d
sudo update-grub

Everything.

PS> Allocated permissions - you must specify your own.

UPD:
Open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf and add:

blacklist vga16fb
