Hi, I have been trying all day to install a fresh version of Ubuntu 10.10rc on my Gateway M520 Laptop top.

I currently have 10.4 running with USB sound issues and wish to start from scratch.

Upon boot of the CD I always get a black or colorful lined screen but never the Ubuntu windows.

I have tried vga=771 and xforcevga to no avail.

I added these options after the -- from the F6 menu.

The laptop output from lspci for the VGA adapter is -

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]


Thanks for any help, Graeme

The reason this all started is because using a USB to TOSLink/SPDIF on this laptop creates very choppy sound. The last Ubuntu laptop which was a 1/3 of the speed had no issues - so I am assuming something installed is getting in the way.
