I am trying to install Ubuntu desktop 64bit through CD. I have connected the computer to TV through VGA.
I could see Ubuntu getting loaded and it goes black. TV does not get any signal.
However it booted to Ubuntu Live CD since that is the default.
Again when I hit power off button I could see the Unbuntu unloading.
Seems to be driver issue, I have got Integrated Matrox G200.
I have searched for many forums, I didnt find any solution to this issue.
I am new to Unbuntu, could someone help me with this.
Thanks, Kiran.

Hi
seems that many people are having this problem
also it seems that xorg.conf is the culprit not the driver
will post more if i find anything else useful

Boot Options (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions) Scroll down to the section dealing with F4. You want to try safe graphics mode when installing.
if that fails try alternate text based installer (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate)

heard alot of people saying lower the resolution see if that helps
not a permanent fix but better than nothing at the moment

I tried safe mode and many vga combinations. TV throws warning that mode is not supported and shows list of modes. I tried all of them none works.

I am hoping changing TV and getting a monitor would help. Any suggestions. Do you want me to lower the resolution of TV and then try to install?

But when I tried to boot with red had linux 5 it recognizes Matrox G200 and the resolution 800*600 was automatically set and it works.
