Comment 70 for bug 311748

Just did fresh install using Jaunty Alpha 4 using ext4.
It tried to use 1152x864 on my 1024x768 screen. I went back to live cd mode and reduced resolution. Every thing went fine from there. First boot was in 1152x864 using radeon. Edited xorg.conf to get virtual size up for second screen.

mur@ubuntu2:~$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768
mur@ubuntu2:~$ xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1152x864
mur@ubuntu2:~$ xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0
mur@ubuntu2:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2176 x 864, maximum 2704 x 1050
VGA-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1152x864 60.0 + 60.0
   1360x768 59.8
   1024x768 60.0* 59.9
   800x600 60.3
   640x480 59.9
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 connected 1152x864+1024+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1152x864 60.0*+ 60.0
   1360x768 59.8
   1024x768 60.0 59.9
   800x600 60.3
   640x480 59.9

Success!!!!!

> Installing Ubuntu only works with the extra boot options acpi=off or MAXCPUS=1. Ubuntu Intrepid installed, but i couldn't get any GUI. The x-server tried to start but failed. I also cannot switch to terminal using crtl-alt F1, because X keeps trying. sometimes i get the errormessage: no screens found. I tried ati, radeon, vesa, radeonhd. I tried installing the official ati-drivers. Nothing worked, then after hours of mindbreaking i installed Hardy Heron, IT worked! Installed the restricted drivers and the screen looks nice. No sound though and no wireless.

> How can i get Intrepid Ibex to work? I read somewhere that xorg 7.4 could be the problem or the 4GB of RAM. Don't know how to fix this though. Latest versions of Mandriva and OpenSuse also do not run from livecd or install and suse complains about the graphic card.
