Hey guys, I'm a pretty big Linux noob, just trying to get the hang of it here.
Basically during boot in either live cd or install version I get a bunch of vertical colored lines across the screen. The boot continues, after I hear the sound I can log in blind, put the computer to sleep and on wake the screen is there, with an invisible cursor haha. I thought I had it fixed, I had to type vga=771 into the boot screen before install and that seemed to fix things. But after a few restarts it was back.
This happens with both Ubuntu 10.04 and Mint 9, not Ubuntu 9.10 though.
For reference my laptop is a Dell Inspirion 1501 with ATi 1150x graphics.
Anyway, any help would be really appreciated as the parts of 10.04 I've seen look killer.
