As soon as X pops up the screen goes into power save and all is dumb. Tried: xubuntu 12.10 (both 64 and 32 bit) , mini.iso for 12.10 installing xubuntu. Mint 12 DVD.I thought I'd go back to basics - install a basic server system, and then add ssh so I could log in from the network and see what was screwing up. Installed OK - re-booted, goes through boot process ok then blank screen! Much swearing and then checked and vga lead not screwed in properly. Much more swearing. Push it in and a login appears!!!! Doesn’t seem to want to screw in! Am now installing xubuntu-desktop which will download another 400MB - only done about 3 G on fresh isos today....How can I tell whats wrong so I can fix it or send it back. Tom te tom te tomPlenty of bird scarers if anyone wants them! Tom te tom te tom
It still wont work in X.Must see if its a driver or trying to set too high a frequency for monitor....
