I tried the alternate installer CD kubuntu 10.04.1 for a HP Compaq nx8220 laptop (radeon X600). With the xforcevesa parameter I can see the first few seconds of the boot process, then the screen goes black. fb=false or fb=off does not change that.

With a 9.04 install vga=788 used to work for me, not any more. With vga=311 I can see 16 tiny screens at the top of my displays, nothing is readable, but I can see that a menue bar moves if I use the up and down keys.

Has anybody found a workaround for the bug?
