I installed Kubuntu 6.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1100 Laptop recently, and the boot up screens - kubuntu splash logo and the running text(?) (progress bar?) - cannot be seen.
The live CD for 6.10 has problems with screen resolution and does not seem to complete even with the Safe graphics mode, I have to use the boot option F6 and append live vga=771 As it happens, 6.06 live CD boots normally for the laptop. With 6.10 how can I influence what screen resolution is used for initial boot activities? Background details: I know that this particular model of laptop has a problem with the bios not knowing or reporting the screen size, resolution properly - even a Dell CD install of XP produces a problem to be solved with particular driver magic. Anyway, the normal display is fine because I edited the xorg.config https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-September/094169.html -- Alan Cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
