Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
The problems described are with the Hardy Beta on x86, both desktop and
alternate CDs.
My system usually has an nvidia 7800GT board in it. It's connected to a
Dell 3007WFP display, at 2560x1600. At work I also have a system with a
7800GTX, using an HP display at 2560x1600.
On both of these systems things don't work with X. From the installer CD
(whether booting to Live CD or going straight to installer), I get
garbled video, but the system seems fine--I can switch to one of the
consoles and work OK. I just can't use it to install because the screen
is unreadable.
If I install from the alternate CD, the installation runs OK, but once I
boot the system it hangs when X starts up. This actually seems like a
hard machine hang. I can't switch consoles, and the machine will not
ping.
I managed to borrow a 7600GS board. It's a much slower board, but uses a
G73 GPU instead of the G70 on the other boards. With this board
everything is fine, and I can install and run.
This seems like an "nv" issue, but I'm new at this and the
FindRightPackage page suggests that all graphics problems get filed
against xorg.
