Have your tried using the OpenChrome or Unichrome driver from the repo? If not, try them.

The new system (notebook) utilizes an onboard via chrome9 video card. When i booted up the installation disk it goes into a black screen and stays that way. I tried using my old distro, Mandriva, and i discovered that I am having problems with the video. I was able to run mandriva using a vesa driver but not the via chrome9 one. And it is a pain. Once I log out I still get a black screen. I'm guessing that I might be having the same problem with ubuntu. Now I want this to run on my notebook using chrome9 instead of vesa. Also I want to use ubuntu this time. Has anyone encountered this problem? Thanks. Jubert
