You could use VGA/VESA as X driver and see if it helps but even if it works you would not have any 2D/3D acceleration under xorg. Maybe trying to use KMS for your graphic driver might help... If the chipset on these i3 relies on the i915 driver you could try to add this in your kernel boot argument line: i915.modeset=1 > It's easy to reproduce -- take a live CD into a computer store. > > I'll be happy to file a bug report if you think it's appropriate.

You could also install right away lucid, and check if the packages you need are already ported in our PPA (some are), if you miss some, you can let us know. For example, I'm running lucid on my laptop with the Puredyne PPA enabled https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=lucid a. -- http://su.kuri.mu --- [email protected] http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
