View Full Version : [ubuntu] Monitor goes into 'digital power saving mode' during install 10.04

Either during install or trying to boot live cd, monitor goes into power save mode, will not wake up.

F6 option to boot with 'nomodeset' does not work. I hit F6 to bring up option menu, but space or enter just select the option, putting an X beside it. Only way to then close the F6 menu is to hit escape, and that does not change to nomodeset.

Anyone have any ideas how to stop the monitor from going into power save mode, or how to use the F6 option on boot up?

I tried 10.04.3 and 10.04.2.

I installed 11.10 today, do not like it. I just want my old 10.04 back.

Other options? Another distro that looks and feels like 10.04?

Thanks.
