Hi everyboby,

I update for kernel 3.1 and remove "nomodset" from grub but it's not clever
> I lose my desktop :( : no deskbar, no icons, only the desktop image.
I had installed synapse so I can launch applications, but I have no menu
bar.
Right click brings up the context menu but it disappears when mousing.
I had installed xorg-edgers ppa ; is there a connecton ?
