hello,
i have an HP nx6125 Turion 64 notebook, and i had some problems when i tried to install Ubuntu. My resolution is 1400x1050 and because of that (i guess) my x server doesn't start.
Can anyone help me? or at least give me some tips?
Thank you,
Cosmin :)

Yes we can
But i need you to tell me about your hardware spec and your graphics card
Do you know how to post your x.org file?
if not
Open terminal
and type in it
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
copy the whole text file and paste it here,and we will try to figure out the problems

He can't do those exact instructions, because you need X running to use gedit.
Instead, type
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then you should be able to view your xorg.conf file.

i tried that and the file was empty. (sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf)
my graphic adapter is ati mobility radeon x300 (with shared memory from the system's ddr). My guess is that there is a conflict with the graphic adapter, because i have tried to install FC4 and i had the same problem.
so....any others ideeas?
thank you for the fast answers :)

it must be sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Make sure you write X11 and not x11
to write big x in console use shift then push x.
Hope this helps

I have the same problem, the system hang whem I try to run Live and Install.
Thenm, I guess that is a kernel problem, because the Vga is a PCI XPRESS, them I install Suse 10.0 (kernel 2.6.13) and was perfect. recognize everything, except CardRead (theres no driver).
I think that a good way is to use vesa, but still has problems with DMA.

I had a similar problem with the dell inspiron 2500.
i changed the autodetected driver (in the 'device' section of xorg.conf) to "vesa"
that allowed a higher resolution.
side note:
VESA - Video Electronics Standards Association.
the VESA driver is a standards based vga driver that will function with most video card chipsets out there (if not all)

i am sorry i havent responded
I dident notice that you had post your x.org

Theres 2 ways to solve this

we try that first
Try the edited x.org i post

I successfully got this working on my nx6125 by installing the proprietry ATI drivers from the CLI. After that it all leapt into life - actually it did need a reboot as the screen went very low contrast the first time I ran X (as root) which was very worrying for about 2 seconds!
Not near the lappie at the mo so I cant tell you exactly which fiel I used, I'll add that later if you are still having probs.
