I successfully installed Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 to my laptop (a Stamp, Pentium 4, 1.6KHz, plenty of RAM). It has worked fine, setting up, upgrading and new installlations all OK. However, occasionally, I've had to reinstall because a re-boot fails.
The process gets to the point of displaying the desktop and instead, gives me a swirling, graphic mist for a few seconds, then a blank screen. I've tried ALL the options at Setup (Esc), incl the recovery modes and 'Try to repair graphics' - none work for me.
Is this a hardware incompatibility problem (never had it with Windows) or driver issue? How can I fix it? Help please!
