Here's a try at the batchbuffer dump. Booted recovery mode root prompt dhclient resume this time it got to login prompt ssh into test system logged in, this time it got to the brown screen with pointer then stopped. The pointer would move but the whirligig didn't whirl.
Accidentally found out if I moved the mouse between each key entry I could get commands in. Followed the batchbuffer dump directions. Copy a line, paste into the ssh, move the pointer, push enter, move the pointer. One shortcut was to type in the commands into text editor, then copy and paste into ssh. Let me know if the batchbuffer dump has anything useful. I could try it on the 830 as well if it is worth it. I'm a retired IBM main frame engineer. My wife does some web site updates and I get the older pc's to run, an IBM Thinkpad R31 with i830, an IBM Thinkpad T40 with ATI Radeon Mobility 7500, an IBM ThinkCentre A30 i840, and a Compaq Presario ATI Radeon Xpress 200. When there's something new from ubuntu I give a try on the four. Sometimes the bugs seem to be unique to my pc, sometimes other people have the same bug so maybe the info I send is of use to the developers. My viewpoint is from an "ordinary user" internet browse & download, internet video, internet email, spreadsheet, digital photography, ... No games. I do have a background in performance. I've been learning ubuntu linux by trial and error starting with drake beta.
