Public bug reported:
What else would you like me to say? There is is ample documentation
available of my dialogue with the Canonical people while working on
this. Simply, Ubuntu 11.1 does not recognize the ATI video card in my
computer so the display is corrupted when the machine boots up. By
pressing the Fn+F7 keys (twice) I can obtain a workable display but I
have no idea of what this keypress sequence is actually doing. The hope
is to get the OS to recognize the video card and boot into a normal
display...
