Hello all,



I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on a miniPC
(http://www.fic.com.tw/product/minipc.aspx) powered by AMD Geode LX800
500MHz. (I think it uses a
CSCS5536 chip) When I tried to run Desktop CD
with that miniPC, it shows the splash screen and also the progress bar
that shows ubuntu loading. When it comes to the place where it should
show the gnome desktop, the screen went blank. I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 but
nothing happened. I thought it has something to do with display driver
and booted in safe graphic mode. The result is the same. The only
response I get from it were when I press Ctrl+Alt+Del or
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. If I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, the usual message "Remove
the Disc and press Enter to continue." appeared.



I then installed Ubuntu on that miniPC using an Alternate CD (v7.10).
The installation went fine but after the splash screen, the monitor
went blank and doesn't respond to Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+F6. But it
does respond to Ctrl+Alt+Del and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.



I think the problem might be due to the fact that CSCS5536 chip is not
supported. Is there any way to solve this problem?



Thanks.

AFAIK, the problem is the xorg driver which is not yet ready for the
CS5536. You will have to wait for at least 8.04 to have it work with GUI.
