I installed the base system and the ubuntu-desktop using aptitude. But I was unable to build a debug version of Openchrome driver (SVN). When trying to "configure" the package I get the error saying that Xorg Server is not installed amongst other three packages the names of which I cannot recall right now. Four packages missing altogether that were not available in the repository. Building Openchrome driver failed.
The Live CD 9.10 installation was a real nightmare, too.
I used a "safe graphics" installation only to see that my graphics card was blinking the whole screen not able to load the X Server (the graphics). I fixed this by issuing the following command:
# /etc/init.d/gdm stop
Then, as always, I added the "noaccel" option to the xorg.conf file and everything went smooth after all.
I hope the above information helps in finding the bug.
