Installation with the alternate installer CD succeeded in installing the system, but required manual intervention to get the fglrx card working. This was the same situation I faced with Feisty on this hardware.
Steps I took after installing Gutsy and receiving a failed Xorg: Ctrl+Alt+(Fn+F1) and log in on the console. # sudo aptitude update # sudo aptitude upgrade # sudo aptitude install xorg-drivers-fglrx # sudo aticonfig --initial # sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv # sudo reboot now Upon reboot GDM loaded the login screen, the display finally worked. -- [Gutsy Tribe 5] MacBook Rev.A, Gutsy Live CD fails to load X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
