(Get the code!)
I have an old computer with an ATi Radeon 9600 XT on it.
If I boot up with the Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS LiveDVD everything works just fine.
But if I try to boot with the 8.10 or 9.04 my computer would freeze when starting the X Server. Actually, the X Server doesn't even start. I see the boot logo till it loads completely but after that step it is supposed to get me to the login screen. The problem is that My monitor goes to standby (maybe it can't find display modes) and I have to reset my computer.
I installed 8.04.2 and made an incremental dist-upgrade to Jaunty, but the same issue is present. I did not install FGLRX because my card is not supported any more.
My temporary sollution is to boot into my 9.04 installation using the 8.04 kernel from the GRUB menu.
Maybe someone can help me find a fix for this issue as I could't find on the internet yet and maybe this fix will get intergrated in 9.10
