leezer3 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hiya guys, For various reasons, I've tried to install the latest beta, as opposed to the current 10.2. The install went reasonably, but the first problem is encountered with the graphics test- This gave me a totally trashed screen, with no text visible, the cursor a messy blob etc. I've tried all the drivers listed, but to no avail. When attempting to boot into the system in normal mode, it hangs at initialising sound- I've disabled this for the mo & all is well. However, the graphics are still totally trashed, and I can't do anything, let alone update the drivers & x server. Failsafe works perfectly. Edit: Drat, sorry I should have given some specs: *Toshiba Tecra S1 *Centrino 1.4ghz *Mobility Radeon 9000 Ubuntu was working fine on here, but won't go back on, due to the installer trashing the brand-new 80gb disk twice, and refusing to load the IDE modules Mandrake 10.1 also works fine, but there's large amounts of lappy stuff not working under the stock kernel, & some other stuff.

leezer3 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Partial fix- Install 10.1 & then upgrade. Still some problems to iron out (Cursor) but has booted & is working. Cheers -Leezer- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
