I would recommend installation from an alternate ISO/image of Ubuntu. Installs much faster than the GUI install. Set the default to console login. Install the ATI binaries and invoke X. If it falls back to the console, see the error in the logs. This will give you pointers. I've a AMD desktop with a Radeon card with HDMI and VGA interface at home. I was able to get display on the HDMI display while installing Ubuntu though to a max of 1440x900 resolution. Post installation, I installed the Radeon 5450 (my card) drivers from the Dell site and then was able to get full HD output. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
