** Description changed: I tried to install ubuntu 8.04 LTS but the first GUI scrolls so fast(or at least thats what I think it doing) horizontally that I can't see any thing but the color of the windows. I installed it then using the text mode. The installation worked. The boot and splash screen displayed fine, but the login or desktop manager does the same thing the installation and liveCD did. It seems to only happen when the X server is running. When I right click I can see the popup is opened but it is displayed at multiple places at once. I can't even read its text. My PC: CPU: AMD Sempron 2600+ Graphics card: Radeon 9200SE Monitor: ProLine 17'' LCD + + + I have been able to get my Ubuntu into a usable state by modifying the xorg.conf file. I used the vesa drivers with some of the setting that Knoppix had when I used it with my pc. This got me to a GUI that asked me if a wanted to change the settings because I was in a low resolution mode or some thing like that. After trying various setting I got my display in 1280x1024 mode still with the vesa drivers because the others did not work. So now I have no hardware acceleration. + + I have tried running the live session on the install DVD on another pc. + This gave me a similar problem as I had on my pc. This one I fixed by + only modifying the xorg.conf file to use the vesa drivers.
