I would guess you have one of the intel graphics which do not have specific driver support. I'm thinking of the GMA-500. To confirm this, you should try to find exactly what your graphics are. Try running "lspci".
You may find it is simply not possible to use linux with this hardware combination. (Until intel get the driver situation sorted). Sorry. --- The logs show X is using the VESA driver, a generic driver which is used as a fallback. This can often work. But it doesn't necessarily support the full hardware capabilities. In this case, X _seems_ to be saying that there are only a few valid VESA modes, with resolutions on 800x600 and 640x480. And your monitor doesn't support the timings for these modes, being a recent/fussy/less usual 1024x600 LCD. -- Can not enter the X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330906 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
