I think there is more to this bug than just the 855 graphics chip. In my various searching I've seen things like success stories for users of the Dell 700m which uses the 855gme chipset, which is the same as what my Uniwill uses. Perhaps there's something about the installation? Or perhaps a conflict with some other hardware device? Can users having this problem all post there specific hardware details? Perhaps this is model specific. I know I'm personally getting quite frustrated at the situation and am willing to do anything I can to help. I'm going to download the Flight 4 live CD and see if booting it also causes this problem. I'll post details in a few days.
