Mythbuntu 9.04 is troublesome, they removed vesafb for some obscure reason. you might try video=efifb, it's similar to vesafb in setup. Otherwise, back to Mythbuntu 8.04 which is still my favorite ubuntu distro version (8.04). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
