Bug Description
using the live cd I installed ubuntu 7.1 desktop - the instillation seems to go fine - when it tells me to restart and ejects the disk, it restarts but then does not load, just gives me a black screen (immediatly after the press escape countdown).
i've got an ati radeon mobility m6 ly card - p4 2.2ghz
i tried reconfiging the xserver as per advice in a different post, and after i reconfiged and typed 'startx' it booted in a privliged login?? but upon restart still get black screen.
To post a comment you must log in.
Confirmed.
The same problem with Kubuntu 7.10
Driver "radeon"
Card Radeon 9100
Temporary solution :
1. CTRL+ALT+F1 (go to console)
2. ALT+F7 (go to X org)
Hint:
Driver (?) didn't set up proper resolution/refresh rate ,
when changed in display settings (even to the same param.)
after confirm to change resolution screen goes black and monitor turns off.
Want more information?
Best regards
