Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 8.10 RC desktop :
I have a "Radeon HD 2400 Mobility" graphics card on an Asus Z99S laptop. When trying to install Ubuntu 8.10RC, it tries to launch X, the graphical display turns on and I see funny shapes (just like what happens when I start X normally with Ubuntu 8.04 in the first few seconds), and then I see a black screen with a blinking cursor. After 1mn, I see the error message "X failed to start after 60s", and I get a console screen. I would like to point out that I use Ubuntu 8.04 on the same hardware without any issues. I have included the outputs from lspci -vvnn and dmesg. Thanks in advance for your help. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- X fails to start on Radeon HD 2400 Mobility (Ubuntu 8.10 RC) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289026 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
