Note on previous comment: My install was Ubuntu Herd1 (not Kubuntu), on a ThinkPad A20m. My conclusion: Bug common to all Ubuntu/Kubuntu/etc. LiveCDs and common to at least part of the ThinkPad line.
See bug #78928 for dmidecode and lspci output for the A20m. -- Garbled screen during install https://launchpad.net/bugs/74875 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
