Re: No X unless I use vmware

said by blound:

Thanks Deep Dish: Tried your idea - in that section of xorg.conf it already said 'vesa'. So I changed it to 'ati' and it didn't make any difference. Funny thing, it works with the kubuntu disk. I've heard that ati graphics cards are bad for linux: have I just got the wrong laptop?
thanks again

Do you happen to know what ATI card you have?? My laptop has an ati 200m that loads fine under both ubuntu and kubuntu...

Hello muzscman: I have a Mobility Radeon X2300. That's what it says in Vista's Device Manager. It's running fine in vmware, but the xorg.conf has references to vmware in the graphic card section.
Thanks again
