I replaced Windows XP with Ubuntu 8.04 on my desktop time ago. I'm very satisfied and now, after porting all my documents and software to Ubuntu, I'm trying to remove XP tablet edition and install Ubuntu on my Samsung Q1B. I searched on the web and I found several pages describing "how to" and with explanations about after installation issues.
Than I start to install Ubuntu. In first I prepared an USB bootable pen and tested it on my desktop. All fine. I putted pen in Q1B, changed bios setting to boot from pen and started installation.
Loader start correctly, I see Ubuntu startup menu, I choose option (live or live install), Ubuntu show startup windows with running progress bar but, after few seconds, instead of showing gnome X11 screen, screen becomes blank and back light shut off.
I tried to launch "live install" and "live" passing parameters vga=xxx (I tried all codes reported in kernel parameters) with same result.
System is not halted. It respond to power switch and start shutdown.
Problem is only, I think, on screen resolution.
Anyone can tell me which is my mistake?
