Comment 17 for bug 68433

Dominik,

Yes my display hardware can support that resolution. I had no problems
seeing the splash screen.
The native resolution for my monitor is 1280x1024@60Hz.
I have a 2 x 17" LCDs.

What do you mean desktop CD?
I used the official ISO image available at the mirrors.
The "Desktop" CD contains the installer.

I never said my computer locked up.
I said that I was unable to switch to a VT due to video card problem.
I was only able to switch VT's when i had selected the resolution settings
from the boot menu as stated earlier.
When trying to switch VT's, i had a green line horizontally accross the
screen that seemed to get wider when
i switched back to VT 7.
On any occasion, X failed to start. X never started.
I never even saw the Blue screen, until I selected the vga mode from the
boot screen.

My guess is the boot splash interfered with me accessing the VT's when I did
not select
the resolution settings.

ATI Support in each Ubuntu release seems to be getting worse and worse.
After a lot of mucking around, and editing xorg.conf files i was able to get
into GDM, but only at
800x600 and run the installer from there.

After installing, I have decided to switch to the fglrx driver which i was
previously using in all other releases of ubuntu.
In this release however, I am unable to geth the fglrx xinerama mode
working.

This not meant as a criticism, but just trying to get some answers, or at
the very least, provide some data
that helps to diagnose what is happening.

On each release, I have chosen to install from the ISO images to run through
the installer.
Dapper and now Edgy have left me with a broken setup that I have to fiddle
with just to get into the installer.

What other information would you like?

John
