Currently the release version of the live CD will not start kdm on a Thinkpad T60p. The report is that "no devices are found." It may now be detecting the driver, since it comes up as ATI, but I don't think there's an appropriate module installed. I'd be happy to provide more detail if anyone asks.
FWIW, the regular ubuntu live CD boots up flawlessly on this machine. -- New ATI chipset not recognized (PCI 1002:71c4) [also radeonfb] https://launchpad.net/bugs/36316 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
