Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
(This is my second attempt to enter this, First attempt was discarded due to a "timeout" error by Launchpad) When the Sony GDM-FW900 monitor is connected to this computer, The install sequence fails immediately after the first menu with a garbage screen. If I use a different (lower resolution) monitor, The install procedure succeeds. If I then switch back to the sony monitor, the login screen is garbage. The video card is an ATI All in Wonder Radion. I suspect that Ubuntu is attempting to set a resolution that the video card can't handle. This combination of video card and monitor has been working together for years in Windows 2000, and ubuntu 9.10 when I was able to set a lower resolution. If someone could tell me how to limit the login screen resolution (what file to edit, and what to change), I think I can make this combination work.
