cooper Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I thought the Ubuntu installer didn't go into X. My guess is you need to prevent the kernel from using the framebuffer device. That probably means selecting the 'safe graphics mode' option. It's what made a number of Linuxes work on my laptop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
