Hi everyone,
This issue started happened randomly one day. Just installed Jaunty and got it all up and running ok, so I installed Catalyst Control Center and did all the updates the update manager wanted me to do, and then restarted when told to. Problem is when it boots back up, grub loads fine and everything, it shows the splash screen with the progress bar on it, then when it goes to show the desktop, it goes all scrambled. As far as I can tell it boots normally, the display is just scrambled.
So I looked around, someone somewhere suggested booting with no splash screen, still no luck.
Wierd thing is that this happened when I tried to install Mythbuntu 9.04 too, except it never let me boot normally, scrambled every time.
The computer is running a ATI X800. This also happened on another computer too with an X1650 PRO, and the best I could manage there was to boot in low graphics mode, but now I'm forced to work in 800X600 (N)!
I'm lost, so any suggestions would be appreciated
