For some reason, using the Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit CD it does boot and detect the display. Not ever in any of the 32 bit versions though. Also note, the Athereos A/B/G/N (Broadcom) included does not work. The latest beta madwifi can use the card though.

[stephans (stephans)]

By the way... has anyone even looked at this?

[stephans (stephans)]

I changed the status to confirmed, since I have tried booting with new media and reproduced the error several times.

Hallo

I've tried to install Gutsy x86-64 on my T60p wide-screen and also only got to a console. So I switched back to openSuSE 10.3, which installs at least a framebuffer Xorg so I can afterwards install the fglrx. A similar behaviour of Kubuntu would be enough for me.

Any idea?

Thomas

I can confirm this. This isn't really a problem for me as I know how to get around the issue, but I believe this is a show stopping bug for a lot of people. The T60p is a pretty common computer in Norway at least, so I think this issue warrants a higher priority.

[Alf Lervåg (alf-lervag)]

jmg: I fix the issue manually by installing and configuring X, then I run ubiquity and get a working system.
< jmg> absolon: is there any workaround?
< jmg> absolon: okay, in that case the bug should probably be filed against casper

I do:
  aptitude install fglrx-driver

Then I edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace vesa with fglrx. Now /etc/init.d/gdm restart let's me continue the installation.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Please attach the output of 'lspci -nn'.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Is this still happening with latest Hardy?

[Thomas (thomasruch)]

Thanks for asking, no it did not happen. I've installed hardy on my blank mashine and it did work. Only the fglrx from hardy did not work correctky, but this is a different thing.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Excellent, thanks for confirming that; closing as fixed.

@stephans, please check yourself and feel free to re-open if the issue is still not fixed for you.
