Public bug reported:
The onboard graphics card on my computer, a Chrome9 HC IGP from VIA
Technologies, Inc., requires the "vesa" driver. Ubuntu evidently doesn't
know this, and so all I get with new installs is gobblydegook on screen.
I have to install very carefully, trying to see through all of the video
noise during the LiveCD installer. Then I have to reboot and run in safe
mode, editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf in nano (which I should mention has
become MUCH more difficult now that everything simply says "Configured"
rather than actually listing settings... not a great move on the part of
Ubuntu.)
Here is my lshw:
