I have finally been able to get a booting system. The reason why X-windows did not start up was that the generic vesa driver did not work. (I was forced to use the vesa driver in the Karmic distribution, because the default radeon driver regularly froze.)
When I switched to the default radeon video card driver, then I got the X-windows up and running. However, now the system instead crashes as soon as I try to change the screen resolution from the default resolution 1024 x 768 to anything else using "system settings". ** Attachment added: "syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49037792/syslog -- Lucid freezes on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569653 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
