Sorry for my really late answer, but I was unable to stop using my pc and make tests for this problem.
Today I put Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 beta 2 on my USB key and I booted on my pc. While the violet screen did appear, when the boot started the screen became plainly black (not even "out of range"). Trying to change tty with ctrl-alt-F1 or other F buttons did not help at all. I tried Alberto Milone's hint, but the only thing that changed is that before plymouth has to start, I see a blinking cursor for a second or two. So, if with Karmic and Jaunty booting with my monitor with the live cd was hard, now it's completely impossible. As a test, i also booted with the USB key on a new VAIO notebook I am working on, and everything worked flawlessly. The hardware status of the pc is always the same: Radeon X1250 integrated video, Hansol H750 LCD monitor. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete -- [RS600] Monitor "out of range" with Hansol H750 on radeon X1250 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340602 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
