Public bug reported:
This bug was also in Dapper 6.06LTS
It seems not much has been done about this problem.
My original bug number was #35934, and this was marked as a
duplicate of #28925.
This was a CLEAN install, and my video card is ATI X700.
Firstly. I just selected the default install option.
Got the bootsplash (though it looked like the wrong colour mode was selected).
I got the bouncing status bar, then it started loading till it was 1 segment
from the end.
Then it just stopped there...eventually I heard the CDRom spin down.
I couldn't switch VT's, it was just stuck on the bootsplash, but i did notice a
green line accross the center of the screen that seemed to change when i hit
alt-f7 or alt-78.
I tried rebooting, this time with safe graphics mode.
Same problem again!
I reboot again, this time selecting vgamode 1280x1024 32bit.
Ok, bootsplash looks right.
I get to the last segement, then my VT draws correctly, but I got the X blue
screen "X failed to start".
At least I could see this now, and also change to a VT to look at log
files.
I also tried the safe graphics mode using the vgamode option but got the
same results.
This seems to me to be a show stopper! It's a very bad for ATI users.
Attached are a bunch of logs I grabbed on my USB memory stick.
PLEASE SOMEONE ATTEND TO THIS!IT LOOKS REALLY UNPROFESSIONAL!
PS - I also did try changing ati to radeon in the Xorg.conf.
