My experience upgrading Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 was relatively painless.  The
only 'gotcha' I encountered was after upgrading my video performance was
terrible (with an integrated nvidia card on the motherboard) - HD playback
stuttered really badly even though had been good before.  glxgears went from
about 2,000 before the upgrade to about 1,200 which was another indication.
It turns out the upgrade had turned on some sort of special graphics
effects.  As soon as I turned effects back to 'none' glxgears improved, and
HD performance was restored.

So in case anyone else encounters this - try turning off all effects before
meddling with video playback profiles in myth.
