then if no current graphics mode works on all computers, perhaps the
install should not use a graphics mode? i understand that some people
think that their computer is more powerful/is working harder if a pretty
picture is on the screen, but it prevents a segment of users out there
from trying ubuntu because the install screens are hosed. you can't
expect the average user to know to add a kernel option to get the
display working.
