** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg I've just installed Xubuntu-8.10 on a computer with an ASUS M2N motherboard, AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core BE-2400 CPU, and a ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO graphics card. I had some problems with X: after booting from the installation cd, instead of starting X, the screen went blank, and after a while into stand by where it remained. I then tried the alternate install disk. Installation from that went smoothly, but when (re)booting the newly installed system, starting X failed again with the same symptom; screen in stand by. I switched to a virtual console, and after lots of trial and error I was able to make X work the following way: 1. Install the radeonhd driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd) 2. Through 'Xorg -configure' + heavy hand editing, create the xorg.conf file in the attachment. And with that it seems to work nicely. Problem solved for me. I decided to report it anyway to a) Make developers aware that the automatic X configuration tool on (X)ubuntu-8.10 has a problem with ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO cards b) Tell other users having the same problem that there's a workaround + [lspci] +
