System info:
Fujitsu T4010 Tablet
Intel Celeron 1.8 Ghz
1GB Ram
60gb Hd DVD/CD-RW
Video Intel 855
Running Windows Vista till Microsoft comes looking for more money.
This is a new to me system. I intended to install Ubuntu as soon as it came in. Attempted installing 10.10 Netbook but came up with "Driver not found for Unity" error. After this I attempted installing 10.04 Netbook got the live disk to work with the "i915.modeset=1" workaround but after installation it reverts back to blank screen of death on boot up. I know the issue is with my video card and Ubuntu defaulting to the incorrect video settings for the card, what I can't figure out is how to fix the issue.
I've seen plenty online saying I need to boot into failsafe or edit the Xorg.conf file but as of yet I haven't been able to figure out how. I'm ready to install 10.04 again is there anything I can do during the install to preset the video setting for after install to allow me to boot normally. I can't find anywhere to allow me to change modeset before its installed and too late to see any video.
Or do I need to just install 10.10 and deal with the fact I don't get any of the nice netbook menus I wanted on my Tablet pc.
