Hello,
I've bought a Samsung series 5 (np530u3c) preinstalled with W7. BIOS setup had already all the "new conflictive stuff" disabled (secure boot, uefi, fast boot, etc). I've created an usb bootable disk with Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit and was able to boot, however it crashed when starting xorg. To be more precise, i was able to see desktop for a few moments and then it showed a dialog window telling something went wrong, with the option to use low resolution mode. If i select low resolution mode nothing happens. I can switch to command line fine (CTRL + F1) see the live filesystem, etc.
I've seen ton of problems with this laptop ;) but none yet related with this specific issue.
I've attached an screenshot showing the log contents for xorg.
Any hints on this?
PS: i've also enabled uefi and this time it showed the grub menu to select options (live ubuntu, install, diagnose, etc) but i'm stuck on the same stage, so it doesn't seem to relate with any bios issue.
