I downloaded the daily build (as of December 28 19:30 EEST) of jaunty- desktop-amd64.iso, and tried it.
It works a little slightly bit better than before, but only a slightly little bit; instead of just going to stand by, it pops up a window that says """ Ubuntu is running low-graphics mode Your screen graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself """ I clicked OK, and got a window saying """ What would you like to do? ( ) Run ubuntu in low graphics mode ( ) Reconfigure graphics ( ) troubleshoot the error """ Choosing "Run ubuntu in low graphics mode", I got a mostly black screen, with a horizontal band of semi-random colours across the screen, where it stuck. I rebooted, and tried "troubleshoot the error" next. That gave me a window saying """ What information would you like to review?" ( ) Review the xserver log file ( ) Review the startup error ( ) Edit the configuration file ( ) Archive configuration and logs """ The three first alternatives would just give me the same window back again, without showing any logs or errors, nor letting me edit anything. The last option told me it had saved the configuration and logs /var/log/<something>, but that's presumably a RAM file system, so it didn't help much. I tried to switch to a virtual console to copy the archived log files to a USB stick, but I just got the same blank screen with horizontal band as before, from where I couldn't escape, except by rebooting. (Feature request: and an option to save the logs to a USB- stick!) -- X doesn't work on "ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO" in 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
