Sounds like X windows is having trouble - probably with the video card. What type of card do you have?

Hi,

I have a ATI Radeon X1600

Have you tried the 'safe mode' boot option?

Yes, but the problem remains:confused:

People are always saying ATI cards can be problematic. Did the live CD boot and display the x-windows desktop ok? I am afraid that you might have to google around to find what setup/drivers will work.

Or you could buy a $30 nvidia geforce card that will work better with linux.

Same problem here with the integrated VIA UniChrome Pro on my LN10000EG mobo. Odd, because I've run Xorg on this box fine before. I have the same problem with straight Ubuntu 7.10.... Hmmmm... Maybe I'll bust out my Dapper CD...

I've googled around, read lots os threads but didn't find any solution

Should I change my card to NVIDIA ?

Any help would be appreciated

You certainly can go Nvidia, it is almost guaranteed to solve your problem.
