Public bug reported:
I cannot install the Gutsy Beta on the HP Compaq Presario SR1620NX
(Sempron 2GHz, 512MB RAM, 160GB HDD) with ATI Radeon Xpress 200G Series
integrated video.
I made numerous attempts to reinstall, using both a Dell 17" LCD
(E173FPb) and a Dell 17" CATHODE-RAY TUBE, 17, DUAL, M782P and a variety
of display / card settings but none are recognized.
I can easily install Ubuntu 7.04, the 4/19/07 release, on this same
machine using both these monitors, without any problems.
While attempting to install the Gutsy Beta, I messed with enough varied
combinations of displays and video drivers to get it up and running
momentarily, but just long enough to see that the visual effects of
composite-by-default did not work.
The Restricted Drivers Manager seemed to recognize that the Radeon
needed some help the brief time I was able to boot the new installation,
but ultimately those settings did not stick and I couldn't find any
screen resolution size that would work.
I was able to install the Gutsy Beta on other computers - eMachines
T4010 and a Dell Inspiron 700m - using the same installation disk (It's
a really nice looking release!)
