Most of these comments refer to Bug #1040526 and as such I'm making it a duplicate of that bug. There are known and working solutions for the live/desktop ISOs (although a change to the kernel config and boot message should be made IMHO). If you still have the original problem on an installed system then please comment on Bug #1044180 . ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1040526 Graphics dithered on Desktop image -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046951 Title: No desktop environment or window manager, just X with the mouse Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The only thing that the graphical display shows is the mouse pointer.
