Excellent, I can report it does work as booted from the 9.04 AMD 64 Desktop
cd. Has anyone tried the proprietary video driver that shows up via System 
Administration  Hardware Drivers...? I'm afraid to try it...is there much
benefit?

 The title nearly sais it all. When booting up, the System freezes with a
 blank screen, as long as I don't supply the acpi=off boot parameter.
 Removing the quiet boot-parameter gives a lot of output, yet I'm unable to
 read it fast enough, before the screen blanks. Looks like a bios bug, yet
 I'm using the newest bios available, so a workaround would be nice.
 Before I forget: Intrepid Alpha 5 didn't work either.

Exactly where does one do acpi off and can one make it so this happens
upon every boot so that no special behaviors are required every time a user
boots a machine?

Anybody has very explicit, detailed instructions on the syntax and way to do
this?

 Yes you are right, but built in linux (asus express gate) works fine.
 Also I'm not sure if it uses acpi or not. Windows XP also works fine on
 it, except video drivers. May be it is possible to debug (asus express
 gate). Solution with acpi off works fine, but I'm not sure that it's
 good for laptop.

2008-12-25 Thread islevegan
I haven't seen any resolution to this yet, and we haven't yet found anything
that will work other than Vista.

I have seen some messages suggesting that it would work by disabling acpi
and even some vague messages about how to do that but nothing that is clear
and well defined.

One of the review of this machine on newegg.com suggests that ASUS needs to
address this in a BIOS update. I don't know but I had not imagined that it
would be such a problem to get any open source operating system to work on
it.

This is what I have been able to get from him thus far. Two images are
attached.

He claims that there is very little time to see messages there and has
difficulty getting an image of it and the pause button does stop the
display.

Any suggestions, as usual, are welcome.

I thank you for your suggestions.

I am the technician in Hawaii helping my friend in Arizona with his 
new computer and first experiences with Ubuntu / Gnu / Linux.

He does a lot of volunteer work but I'm trying to impress on him the 
importance of getting this information to you ASAP so that a solution 
can be found in time for the release of Ubuntu 8.10.

My friend has been cc'd on this. Again, thanks for your time and
attention.

I have tried Ubuntu 8.04 for 32 bit and AMD64, and every few days try

has worked yet.

The display will go blank shortly after choosing to try ubuntu without
changing my computer or trying to go into the install process from the
CD or DVD (I've tried both).

I understand that this machine has *both* integrated graphics with an
ATI 3200 and another graphics system based on the ATI 3650 for higher
performance, when desired.

I do not know if the problem is with video drivers or support of some
other elements, or a combination thereof.

We were able to do an install using virtualbox on top of Windows Vista
on this very same machine. It works, but that is not an ideal setup...if
anything, I would prefer the opposite or no Windows at all.
