Recently I am trying to install the latest Ubuntu / Xubuntu but after the kernel messages the display becomes corrupted ....
The machine is a Clevo laptop with the dreaded SIS 671 / 672 chipset.
The Ubuntu 8.04 is working flawlessly .... :(
Any other version I get several problems and depending on the mood of the system I get a vertical running display ( not readable ) or a left horizontal displaced screen (readable) ...
I tried more tan several CDs ranging from 9.01 to 10.10 both Ubuntu or Xubuntu ...
What is the plainest (simpler ) VGA mode in order to install it ?
I have tried vga=normal and even VGA =3 with no sucess ....
with the latest Ubuntu 10.10 I get another problem it simply does not recognize the HDD / SSD ...
I have traced the SSD problem with the sata_sis module in kernel 2.6.35 and up...
Other distros have the same problem ... :(
Any comments ?
