(Get the code!)
I downloaded alpha5 CD and tested it on my pc : same thing as usual, display doesn't work when booting on cd. On another PC, it's OK. It is frustrating as I had no problem on Feisty. I dropped Gutsy because I didn't succeed in having 3D working, after having difficulties to get a proper video. "My" bug :

So what about Hardy ? Can I hope to have a CD working on my PC ? Must I install Hardy and try to modify xorg or other things to have correct display ? Will I succeed in having 3D ?

??? Does that mean that there is no way to have a correct display for every PC ? How do others linux distribution perform ? It is the first since many years that a boot CD does not work properly on one of my PCs ...
At least, a list of malfunctionning cards and a clear tutorial on how to get video cards properly working should be widely dispatched. (For me, operations that I did for modifying xorg.conf are clearly linked to sorcery ;-) )
