I changed "vesa" to "via" in xorg.conf and it did not work. I was not able to test different resolutions & color-depth, because i had no text-console in this live CD.
I use the "openchrome" (kernel+xorg)Driver in kubuntu 6.06 and it is very stable. playing videos and using 3D accel. is a bit tricky but works. http://www.openchrome.org/ -- feisty beta: wrong screen resolution even when setting it to 1024x768 before boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/96428 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
