Hi, I also have a Sony VAIO VGN-FW 140E and have tried to run Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10. I always get a gray screen w faded horizontal lines. If I try in Safe Display mode...I see my cursor repeated all over the screen. I am trying to run via LiveCD. I noticed I also have this issue if I try to install PSLinuxOS.
Does anyone w a VAIO VGN-FW140E able to get Ubuntu to work with the Intel Graphics card? Specs of my graphics set is as follows: Display Screen Size: 16.4" Resolution: 1600 x 900 XBRITE-ECO™ Technology: Yes Processor: Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with Intel® Clear Video Technology Total Available Graphics Memory: 1340MB (max.) Chipset: Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset Interface: HDMI™ and VGA out with Smart Display Sensor Also, can I get this to work on LiveCD or will I need to install Ubuntu fully on my HD in order to apply a fix? Can this be fixed via settings in the xorg.conf?? Please advise. I am surprised there is no fix for this as of yet. I have been looking on various forums.
