well i gave ubuntu another shot after reading that *ATI Catalyst™ 10.3 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver *might have been incorperated into the latest release of lucid. So i downloaded and burnt ubuntu-10.04-beta1-desktop-i386.iso and went and ran it on my laptop, and wow i have a gui display for the installation.
i'm currently installing ubuntu 10.04 beta 1 onto my system as we speak, will let you know how it goes after installation On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 6:59 PM, Albert Vilella <[email protected]> wrote: > ccing the bug report to the list: > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/534254 > > Can you try the latest Fedora Live CD, which I think went live > yesterday and I think includes some if not all of the vga_switcheroo > code? > > > ubuntu live cd would not give me a desktop, > > so i installed the server edition, i got so far as getting it > > installed onto the disk, when i tried to boot into the new ubuntu > > install, i was greeted with a black display but with the backlight > > still turned on. > > > > this laptop has 2 graphics cards in it sharing the same lcd display. 1 > > intergrated graphics card (i5 core) and a discrete graphics card (ati > > HD 4550) >
