This is a Lucid Lynx Beta-1 bug report.

I had to reboot into Karmic Koala to provide the following details after
posting the bug files, because I couldn't even type in Lucid Lynx -- the
system missed most of my keystrokes.

Here are the symptoms:

* CPU utilization by Xorg of 65-75 percent on a dual-core Intel Celeron SU2300
* Heavy blinking/flashing effect is seen as soon as the Lucid Lynx chooser comes up (install or try without installing)
* Mouse is sluggish
* Keystrokes are dropped
* Turning off enhanced desktop effects doesn't help, and may make it worse
* Switching/lowering resolution does not help, and sets off a series of errors: "Could not switch the monitor configuration / Could not set the configuration for CRCT64"
* Ubiquity crashes when the desktop comes up
* Upon shutdown, after the desktop disappears but while the mouse pointer is still on screen, the flashing/blinking effect suddenly stops and the mouse becomes very responsive.
