I have experienced this video issue with every Linux distro I have used,
except knoppix and a few others. I am not sure if it is something with
my monitor or my ATI video card, but I always got a black screen when
booting. Using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or a similar command
resolves the issue.
This sucks that this "bug" has not been updated as of yet. You would
think this would be top priority. I'll exclude additional reasonings to
avoid being redundant but it should appear as though this would be a
necessity not a want or wish list. I really would like to see the growth

I was a bit surprised when I found just one line in my Section "Device", that's

Then I guess x.org has changed some behavior. Although the graphic card is
working, I want to known how x.org manager to 'guess' my driver and options.
Guys, I've got to agree here. I've clean installed xubuntu hardy over

works on this laptop (via graphics) but I've always been able to get it

I couldn't change the resolution from 640x480 in hardy (Intel 845 PC).I
