I can verify that the system hangs terribly in this situation. I do not know the cause, nor did I attempt to change to a differant tty.
I can tell you, however, that Kubuntu does not have this problem in the least. I am operaing a Dell Dimension 2400 right now running Kubuntu Live, and everything is running excitingly smoothly. I have a full resolution and will be clicking the 'Install' icon in a few minutes. -- Freeze live CD in dell dimension 2400 https://launchpad.net/bugs/55444 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
