I am using a AMD 64 with ASUS K8V-MX motherboard. It has onchip VIA display card (K8M890CE chipset)
When I boot into the third alpha release of Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" live cd, the computer freeze at the point of starting the x.org server. Everything locks up (cannot kill x, or switch to a terminal). I have to reset the machine.
I had the same problem with hardy 8.10 live cd.
I rebooted and select the "safe graphics mode" in the grub boot option (vesa drivers). This time it did not freeze but the display way totally unreadable with a huge lot of flickering happening. I tried to take a screenshot, but the screenshot comes up correctly.
I then change the resolution to 1024*768 in System > Preference > Screen resolution and now it works correctly. But the redraw rate is very slow and I have to wait for sometime for the application to redraw itself correctly.
Also the refresh rate is not shown at all in the Screen resolution settings. (Screenshot attached).
I have also attached the kernel log file, x.org configuration file and boot log file. I have change anything except selecting the vesa mode in the main boot option and changing the screen resolution to 1024*768
Binary package hint: xorg
