I have the same motherboard ASUS K8V-VM, and I haven't got any problems with my graphics.
Recently I tried to boot Ubuntu 9.04 livecd, and all works perfectly. I use CRT monitor. I have BIOS revision 401. Make sure that your Ubuntu is not beta. Try to reset BIOS to default values and update your BIOS to the latest revision (BIOS upgrade is very dangerous, so do it on your own risk): http://support.asus.com/download/download_item.aspx?product=1&model=A8V-VM Try remove extension cards and try again (the openchrome driver often interfere with WIFI). I attached Xorg.log from Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD (I haven't got any problems) ** Attachment added: "Xorg.log from Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD without bugs, on Asus A8V-VM" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26946816/Xorg.128MB.log -- Square cursor with k8m890 and 9.04 livecd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
