I have tried Ubuntu 8.04 for 32 bit and AMD64, and every few days try
the latest alpha or daily build of 8.10 for AMD64 and 32 bit...nothing
has worked yet.

This is a an ASUS M51 Series M51TA-X2 NoteBook with AMD Turion X2 Ultra
ZM-82(2.20GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA+ 4GB Memory 250GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super
Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650

Here is where it was purchased, with some specifications available:

Here are some threads on ubuntuforums that relate to this machine:

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.
