[LUG] Strange Problem 2

 

Thank you everyone but no joy yet.

Doing cnt alt F6 or cnt F1 does nothing because I don't have a display. It's not that I have a blank display, the monitor is not synced, it is not receiving a recogniseable signal.
Removing the quiet and splash options does not help.  I get a few pages 
of text and then the monitor goes blank, the green light goes yellow 
signifying no signal.  Likewise adding VGA=791 or any other number 
results in the same failure. But it does seem to boot OK, not that I can 
see it.  I think the boot sequence is switching to some graphic mode 
that radeon doesn't like (as suggested by Bad Apple I think.)
I installed Kubuntu, which worked, but I didn't like it (fussy aren't I) 
and I'm now trying Xubuntu, but I hate the ads I keep finding.
I like Robs idea of trying a graphics card and I'll have a root in the 
attic when I get the Xmas lights.
I have read the thread started by Tom and I couldn't see anything that 
could help.  He too resorted to Xubuntu it seems.
I really do want Mint.  I think I'll write to the Mint community now. 
I've had a trawl and there isn't anything on there.. yet.
