Hello,
I've installed ubuntu 10.04 onto my Dell Latitude e6510 (through the wubi installer), but I can't get anything except a black screen.
I'm pretty new to ubuntu, but after a bit of looking around at graphics issues I found a bunch of boot parameters and tried different combinations of them.
i915.modeset=0
Gave me the purple loading screen, until the screen went black and I got flashing caps lock and scroll lock lights.
xforcevesa
Gave me a completely black screen -- not receiving power at all
I also tried noapci, acpi=off, irqpoll, and pci=routeirq as parameters. None of those had any success.
I've also tried letting ubuntu boot with a black screen until I heard the African drums and pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go into the console, but the screen stayed black then as well.
Any way I could edit the xorg.conf file without seeing what I'm doing?
Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
Thanks.
