I would appreciate if you test with a live CD. Boot with the "text" kernel parameter so X will not be automatically started. Then log in and update the driver (having it downloaded to an accessible drive*, or 1) configure xorg.conf to use the vesa driver 2) start X using startx 3) download the driver and log out again 4) remove vesa from xorg.conf again) and run startx.
Once beta is out, it will be much more difficult to get changes like this pulled in. *) If your "live CD" is a USB stick, the easiest is to copy the driver there, it will be accessible under /cdrom. -- [agp] X.org does not initialize screen on IBM T20, T21, T22 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
