I think I discovered what the problem is--a problem with the video
driver the installation CD chose for my card caused X to hang when
trying to show the login screen. The installer detected the card
properly, but used the following settings:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. R200 BB [Radeon All in Wonder
8500DV]"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Apparently the ati driver doesn't work reliably with the All in Wonder
8500DV. Only sometimes will X start. I can confirm this with the Kubuntu
live CD.
I installed the xorg-driver-fglrx package and changed the driver to
fglrx and have not had any more problems. Can anyone take a look at this
ati driver?
Thanks for your time!
