Hello,
I cannot boot into the Gnome gui after upgrading to 9.04 on my desktop. The upgrade installed fine on my laptop, but on my desktop the computer hard-locks with some garbled display on it. If I tell it to boot with no GUI, it seems to work fine but I'm a GUI guy.
I do have an ATI HD4850 on this machine and I did have the closed-source ATI drivers on it before upgrading, perhaps I should have gone back to the generic video drivers before upgrading.
Anyways, I would really just like to be able to boot up to the desktop. Is there any way to reset all the video options back to defaults.
BTW - the Windows partitions on this machine work fine so I don't think it's any sort of hardware problem.
