** Description changed: I have tried the previous alphas on this same hardware, and was able to use the desktop and do some real testing. However, the Beta on my Gateway M-6881 laptop does not allow me to get to the desktop. I get no error message. From a standard start, the screen goes white, then turns off altogether, with the laptop freezing hard. I cannot drop to a virtual terminal to get any information. The screen issue led me to try again with "Safe Graphics Mode". I get the same lock up, but i do get the "Kubuntu" splash screen as its loading, then freezes. I cant give you much more information, since I cant get into the system. But there is a copy of lshw from my Hardy installation to show you all hardware in the system. I don't know if it is a certain piece of hardware that is causing the issue, but Hardy works flawlessly. The only thing I had to do with Hardy is install the compat-wireless project driver to get my Intel 3945abg wifi to work properly.
