Here is a screen shot of the normal graphics screen, showing the same bobcat kitten.
In the previous screen shot, note that there is a block cursor above the kitten's right ear (on its right). ** Attachment added: "Gnome screen with full background image." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40939940/LARGE3971.JPG ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome This is regarding Lucid alpha-3 as updated to today, a few days before the beta release. When I try to switch to a console with, say ctrl-alt-F2, I get a distorted, magnified background image with a large text cursor. Text typed does not show, but the cursor moves. ALT-F7 allows return to the graphics display. Also, when booting in rescue mode, the screen goes into this state before it allows root login, so any commands typed after this have to be typed blindly. I WAS able to execute 'Xorg -configure' in this state, in order to get a minimal xorg.conf file, to determine that the openchrome driver was in fact going to be used. I did not create an xorg.conf file - for this system, however. + for this system, however. (The system seems to detect the ViewSonic E771 + tube monitor's resolution properly, usually. Sometimes this fails, and X + starts in 800x600 mode). Ubuntu version and kernel version DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu lucid (development branch)" Linux lightning 2.6.32-16-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 9 16:33:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux model name : VIA Samuel 2 cpu MHz : 798.000 The motherboard is a Jetway 625EMPxxx or 625EMWxxx. I will be attaching a photo of the screen in this distorted text mode. Also, when I try to boot in normal mode with the new 2.6.32-16-generic kernel, I get a blank screen initially - ALT-F7 will put the screen in text mode (at least it did once). So there is a booting problem now, which I didn't experience till today.
