I downloaded alpha5 CD and tested it on my pc : same thing as usual, display 
doesn't work when booting on cd. On another PC, it's OK. It is frustrating as I 
had no problem on Feisty. I dropped Gutsy because I didn't succeed in having 3D 
working, after having difficulties to get a proper video. "My" bug :

So what about Hardy ? Can I hope to have a CD working on my PC ? Must I
install Hardy and try to modify xorg or other things to have correct
display ? Will I succeed in having 3D ?

we've seen during Hardy, before 6.8.0-1"  
??? Does that mean that there is no way to have a correct display for every PC 
? How do others linux distribution perform ? It is the first since many years 
that a boot CD does not work properly on one of my PCs ...

At least, a list of malfunctionning cards and a clear tutorial on how to
get video cards properly working should be widely dispatched. (For me,
operations that I did for modifying xorg.conf are clearly linked to
sorcery ;-) )
