Ubuntu developers are fixing it so you can't run X in recovery mode.
Try this before reinstall, press the <F7> key as soon as the usplash screen disappears. I kinda had this issue myself on my laptop and what was happening is the handoff to the terminal that X was running in wasn't happening correctly. After a couple times of doing that things started working again. If that doesn't work then see if the driver Ubuntu sets up by default works better. --Shaun --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
