Any change, or are you still experiencing the problem.

I Will be helpful if you can provide some details regarding the machine
that you are installing on:

- brand/cpu/memory/video
- how you installed: liveCD? Alternate CD?

When you log in using failsafe Gnome, open a terminal
(Applications|Accessories|Terminal) and enter the following commands:

cd Documents
lshw > lshwjlsmith.txt

You can now view the file in the Documents directory. Attach the
contents & post back here. If you have problems attaching, just copy and
paste. That will list all of your hardware and provide enough info to help.
