Also experiencing a similar problem. I'm on an MBP purchased in December '06 with at ATI x1600 card on it. Xorg doesn't work at all (safe graphics mode fails as well). Xorg claims the vesa driver couldn't find any usable modes (I believe Feisty had this problem). To get the live CD to boot, I had to do this:
1. Press Fn + Ctrl + Alt(Option) + F1 to get to a usable terminal 2. Type sudo -s to get to root 3. apt-get update 4. apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx 5. aticonfig --initial 6. /etc/init.d/gdm restart **Unfortunately, this leaves me with a white screen after looking like it's going to boot so I had to do more 7. Get back to the terminal 8. killall compiz.real 9. Go back in to my display (Fn+Ctrl+Alt+F8) 10. Go to System > Preferences > Appearance 11. It will show the visual effects as disabled. Turned them on. Screen goes white. 12. After a few seconds, screen comes back with visual effects off, but the window manager is running now. **I'm sure there is a better way to do this (metacity --replace?) I also had no trackpad support so I had to plug in a USB mouse. Hopefully the vesa driver gets worked out before the official release... -- [Hardy] bulletproof xorg fails completely with mbp rev3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196242 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
