update: On my installation, with the latest packages, 1. with kernel 2.6.32-18-generic, the boot still freezes after fsck message
2. with kernel 2.6.31-19-generic, I get gdm and gnome desktop at low resolution (800x600) and only other mode shown by xrandr was 640x480. I manually added a monitor section to provide the horizontal and vertical sync (from values I got off the net) and configured a modeline for 1280x1024. (using cvt) with this: * Using the custom xorg.conf, now xrandr (also the "monitors" menu item under system->preferences->monitors) shows a lot more mode options and I have configured it to use 1280x1024. * Even after the custom xorg.conf, kernel 2.6.32-18-generic, still freezes. * Plymouth splash is not seen at boot or shutdown/restart. -- [KM400] Black screen after boot, no text console possible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518623 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
