Dell and Karmic xorg and grub

[lazar689]

I am using Karmic for one long day, but rebooting is more of White Screen (WSoD).
So I stop the boot sequence to add "nomodeset" and continue with 1280x800 screen on my Dell 1535.
I don't have these famous files called xorg.conf and grub.conf to edit the last for this switch

How can I generate them in my system? May be some stuff is missing on my system. It works fine, but the boot phase is punishment

Thanks for any help. I like Karmic and never go back to Windows 7

If you want to add nomodeset to your kernel options in grub 2, have a look at this:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910#No%20Xv%20support%20for%20Intel%2082852/855GM%20video%20chips%20with%20KMS

...under "No Xv support for Intel 82852/855GM video chips with KMS". I know you have an ATI card in that laptop (according to google) but the instructions for adding nomodeset are good.

No such file menu.lst. Back to my problem.

That's because you have grub 2 in Karmic, not grub 1 (legacy grub). Have a look at the link again and follow the instructions for grub 2. If you have any problems, post back and I'll take you through it.
