[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu Studio

[David Robert Lewis]

Does anybody know how to install Ubuntu Studio in safe graphics mode/compatability mode? I've got it installed on a partition, and it gets the same zebra, out-of-phase graphics that I got with Ubuntu Hardy. Only, Hardy has a safe graphics mode option, which works around this. I've tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" after dropping down to root and on the advice of an ubuntu forum posting, but all I get is a series of questions about my keyboard. I need to reconfigure the graphics somehow.
 
David.

afaik, you can still specify which driver to use in you xorg.conf. I had a
similar issue just 
the other day. I used the below mentioned conf and it worked perfectly.

[..]
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Boardname       "via"
        Busid           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Driver          "openchrome"
        Screen  0
EndSection

[..]

Hope this helps.
