I have the Same problem with ATi 9700 Mobility too!, tried Ubuntu beta and a daily live iso(18.[1].10.08), the pc has been ubuntu compatible for years, but now its seems something with x.org or the kernel...., hope the team get hold of it before ubuntu 8.10 final, i cant either press Ctrl-Alt-F1 Sometimes the installer appers but after like 3 secounds the mouse "lags" (if i move it), then boom the picture freezes, as the pc still runs fine on ubuntu 8.04. I tryed to rush througn the installer (before it freezes) but i couldn't do it fast enough.
Pc is AcerTravelmate 8000 series 1 GB ram 160 Samsung ATA HDD(non orginal) 9700 Mobility centrino 1.8(or something) 17''(non wide) Display. -- Got a black screen with Ubuntu 8.10 beta LIVE CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277699 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
