+ Dell Latitude D600  512MB
+ ATI Radeon 9000  32MB
  Ubuntu 9.04 - GNOME
  
  PROBLEM:  Boots past Ubuntu splash screen (100% bar), flashes through 4
  corrupt graphic screens, ending on one that displays something like the
  Ubuntu splash screen (100% bar) in the upper half left and right
  corners, something like the Ubuntu small icon logo repeated ~32 times
  across the top like a bar, and the lower half of the screen multi
  colored vertical line noise.  [I believe the desktop is active, but
  don't know how to navigate/confirm that]
  
- STARTED:  Used the main menu add/remove to add some KDE educational
- packages and the ATI Radeon Catalyst Control Center.
+ WHEN IT BEGAN:  Used the main menu add/remove to add some KDE
+ educational packages and the ATI Radeon Catalyst Control Center;
+ Catalyst mentioned something didn't initialize; rebooted and problem
+ began.
  
  SO FAR:  Tried recovery mode xfix, fsck, dpkg.  [I'm very
  willing/comfortable using the root console and moderately familier with
  linux.  I need pointers on what logs to find or configs to edit.  Is
  there a VGA mode for the desktop so I can uninstall the Catalyst
- package?]
+ package?  If I have to reformat, what is the best option to backup
+ home/prefs?]
  
- BACKGROUND:  Reformatted to Ubuntu 9.04 and the graphics were a bit
- slower, but running without glitches.  Both versions had a habit of the
- mouse buttons locking up for periods of time.  This version started
- taking to beep two or three times during shutdown.
+ BACKGROUND:  Recently reformatted system from Unbuntu Intrepid to Ubuntu
+ Jaunty (original Canonical CD) where graphics became a bit slower [i've
+ read the problems about ATI not keeping pace with X, but running without
+ glitches.  Both versions had a habit of the touchpad buttons locking up
+ for periods of time.  Jaunty started beeping a few times during
+ shutdowns.
  
  
+ Your good works are very much appreciated,
+
