I know this laptop had problems with the current release of Xorg on many
distributions because of problems with the ati driver. so I tried the
live cd first. works great! I mean really smashing. enought to get me
to consider switching from gentoo on my lattops. I got the right
resolution and good speed.
switching to an installed version, well, it was not so good. I had some
video but hal bitched at me for some reason and then I never saw an X
display again.
what is the reason for the differences between live and installed?
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36998 if you want lspci,
dmesg, or lsmod output from installed
help?
