Public bug reported:
I tried the Kubuntu 6.06 LiveCD/installer on a Dell Inspiron 640m. When
using the default graphic boot, the boot sequence kind of hangs after it
says 'Starting KDE...'. The system daemon messages disappears and the
display stay stuck on the Kubuntu boot progress bar. Trying to switch
display manually doesn't work. I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot and this
works.
If I use the 'Safe graphic mode', everything works fine and the boot
completes to the KDE login.
I managed to successfully install Kubuntu 6.06 after that. The default X
driver configured was vesa and I changed it to the i810 driver after
that (in order to have DRI and correct resolution). Everything worked
fine from there.
The display adapter in the Dell Inspiron 640m is an Intel 945GM. I have
a 14" XGA+ display with 1440x900 resolution.
