Just tried the latest release of Gutsy: 7.10 Release Candidate. New behaviour, instead of the behaviour I reported earlier I'm seeing the following on my Averatec 3200
Since the safe boot option no longer is a choice, I selected Start or Install.... After booting for a bit I think X attempts to start and the screen is blank but back-lit. I waited a bit for this and finally gave up. I rebooted and edited the boot line to add vga=771 Eventually (after 5 or more mins) the system X started and produced a warning error box indicating it was in low-res mode because it could not detect my hardware and asking whether I would like to configure things manually. I tried various of the options offered (rebooting between each and painstakingly waiting to get to the warning box). None of the following attempts succeeded 1) simply press continue at the warning box 2) Configure as 800x600 generic lcd at 60hz device driver vga 3) Configure as 1024x768 generic lcd at 60hz device driver vesa All of these result in a blank backlit screen but no X windows or cursor displayed. -- desktop cd fails to start gdm with hp nc6400 (widescreen, ati-based laptop) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
