SOLVED Hi again. Sorry about the last two comments. I was in a carpool on CA-17 when I wrote them. I think. Anyway, I tried many of the above on my LT3103u and the only one that worked for me was passing nomodeset (not any of the modeset=0 variants) on the kernel commandline (first tested interactively by catching grub in the act of booting, and then by putting it in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg via /etc/default/grub and update- grub).
For completeness, and to help out others who come across this via web search, here's the chip in question: $ lspci|grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] And I am in fact running 32 bit Lucid on this 64 bit machine, not 31 bit ;-) Now that this issue is solved, I'm ready to bump the distro back up a notch (I'd downgraded to try to get this resolved) Oh, and for the record, it made no difference on this machine whether I was an upgraded user or a newly created user.
