Just to follow up ...
This thread did completely resolve my video issues with Ubuntu 9.04 and I would like to express gratitude to those who helped me. Thank you! I am still running 9.04 and I'm pretty happy with it. I wish I could upgrade to 9.10.
I have recently attempted to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 on the same Acer Aspire One ZA3 and that has been met with sure failure. I tried to do a dist-upgrade and that pretty much made the OS unable to boot, even if I tried a previous kernel from the Grub menu. I can not even get a live distro (built from USB) of 9.10 to boot. I get errors about modules being unable to load. I have tried both usb-creator.exe for Windows, usb-creator from a good 9.10 install on a different box, and unetbootin 377.
Has anyone else tried? Any successes?
Thanks,
Sean
