My system with the same problem has "CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 Graphics [S3 UniChrome Pro]" as the onboard display adaptor on an Asrock 775VM800 motherboard.
Worked fine in 12.04 but after upgrade to 12.10 I get a brief flash of the splash screen followed by no video and no keyboard. Remote login via ssh works OK. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1086035 Title: [VM800/P4M800Pro/VN800/CN700] X fails to start after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/1086035/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
