I have the same video card with the same problem :( I wanted to try Ubuntu 7.10 on my wife's laptop. After gnome starts the mouse pointer appears for 1-2 seconds, and after the screen goes black.
Neither Ctrl+Alt+F1 works nor X-Org restart help. When I enter Ctrl+Alt+Del I hear a Beep from the PC Speaker, and in a couple of seconds the CD will be ejected, but the screen is still black, so I have to power off the PC. Any solution? -- Ubuntu LiveCD doesn't start with a "VIA Chrome9 HC" graphic card and, when Ubuntu is installed, it works only with VESA drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179675 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
