Good day,

I tried "nomodeset' it makes no difference.

So I downloaded the "alternate"  iso.

The only difference - the scrolling lines have different colors even in
"nomodeset".

It seems that ubuntu 10.4 is not for me. Would have liked to try it.

Many thanks to the members that responded to my query.
