ref ubuntu ver 10.04 bug report

[Ian Porter]

Hi Charlie,

The only thing that I can think of is something that was similar to
myself, in that the BIOS was not setting up the video memory correctly
and thus telling the kernel where to place the video memory on the
onboard graphics card.

Are you able to use a 1GB of ram to see if that sorts out the problem ?

Regards
Ian
