Got my A21p running 8.10 fine, though I had to jump through quite a few hoops to fix it. First, I had to reinstall 8.04 (the original bug for this thread was under 8.04). It still had the issues, but I could use Screens And Graphics in 8.04 and got a working xorg.conf after using it. I then saved the xorg.conf to my flash drive and installed 8.10 again. 8.10 was stuck at 640x480 as usual, but pasting in the xorg.conf fixed it. I can post the xorg.conf if you want.
As for the three bars issue when using the Live CD, make sure you use Safe Graphics Mode (press F4 when booting I think), that works on the 8.04 and 8.10 CD's. I don't have time right now to test using a new CD, but maybe I can try this weekend if there is a new CD. -- [intrepid] Ubuntu 8.10 will not boot Live on IBM ThinkPad A21p - CPU 1 soft lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
