<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>David.<BR><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow" color=#ff0000></FONT> </DIV> <DIV align=center><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><FONT style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,255,128)" color=#0080ff size=3><FONT size=4></FONT></FONT><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(127,127,0)">"Freedom of speech looses its meaning if dissenting ideas are banned by the medical dismissal of those who speak them out."

Even the "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" no > longer asks which driver to use. 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.
