This is quick’n’dirty writeup to help others who might have the same problem. I’ll clean this up later in the week …<\/p>\n
Ubuntu Jaunty<\/a> is the new beta version of Ubuntu. It comes with a new version of X.Org and the ATI drivers have been incompatible with this version of X.Org. ATI recently released<\/a> drivers that support X.Org 1.6. If you have problems with X not starting follow the instructions here: For me what happened is that X wouldn’t start properly and cause my Lenovo T400 to freeze and lock up. The laptop would boot but when X would start (when the login screen appears) I’d get a black screen with red lines at the top. To solve this I booted to runlevel 1, also known as failsafe mode. If your using a laptop with wireless, I suggest you connect directly to your router using a network cable, otherwise you may have to configure wireless manually (it’s not that hard).<\/p>\n When your system starts, select failsafe mode, on the next screen to appear choose the option to go to a “root shell with networking”.<\/p>\n Next remove the install ATI drivers and install from scratch the ones you need:<\/p>\n sudo apt-get remove –purge xorg-driver-fglrx xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon If this doens’t work for you see the Ubuntu page mentioned above<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is quick’n’dirty writeup to help others who might have the same problem.
