thanks for the help, all. i agree, my issue may be somewhat different. symptoms, on the surface, are the same, but the root cause is probably different.
an auto-configured xorg.conf with 3d acceleration off fixes the problem for me. that seems like a pretty easy-to-implement fix. i'll make a new bug and post my findings there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043518 Title: live cd is unusable due to video degradation with the splash boot option enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1043518/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
