Dominik, Yes my display hardware can support that resolution. I had no problems seeing the splash screen. The native resolution for my monitor is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a 2 x 17" LCDs.
What do you mean desktop CD? I used the official ISO image available at the mirrors. The "Desktop" CD contains the installer. I never said my computer locked up. I said that I was unable to switch to a VT due to video card problem. I was only able to switch VT's when i had selected the resolution settings from the boot menu as stated earlier. When trying to switch VT's, i had a green line horizontally accross the screen that seemed to get wider when i switched back to VT 7. On any occasion, X failed to start. X never started. I never even saw the Blue screen, until I selected the vga mode from the boot screen. My guess is the boot splash interfered with me accessing the VT's when I did not select the resolution settings. ATI Support in each Ubuntu release seems to be getting worse and worse. After a lot of mucking around, and editing xorg.conf files i was able to get into GDM, but only at 800x600 and run the installer from there. After installing, I have decided to switch to the fglrx driver which i was previously using in all other releases of ubuntu. In this release however, I am unable to geth the fglrx xinerama mode working. This not meant as a criticism, but just trying to get some answers, or at the very least, provide some data that helps to diagnose what is happening. On each release, I have chosen to install from the ISO images to run through the installer. Dapper and now Edgy have left me with a broken setup that I have to fiddle with just to get into the installer. What other information would you like?
