What I have done so far is to boot the Alpha-4, Alpha-6, and Beta live CDs.
This does not happen with those two Alpha versions. With the Beta version, it's a bit different. When I switch to consoles 3 through 6, I get a blank screen, instead of the flashing colors, and I don't seem to be able to log in (using a previously-set root password), but I can switch back with alt-F7 to X. Ctrl-alt-F2 gives me a screen showing messages about 'cardbus cards are not supported' (reported in another bug report). Ctrl-alt-F1 shows some startup messages. The Beta is definitely using an openchrome driver along with vesa - that shows up in Xorg.0.log. I didn't check that in the Alpha versions - I'll go back and check Alpha-6 ... -- [K8M800] Console screens unusable on Averatec 3280 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449061 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
