Bug Description

When I place the Cd on the laptop, and boot from it, in a point it will say that it wasn't able to start X, and it will them leave me a screen with a blinking cursor. Nithing can be entered or type. The only key combination that works is the CRTL+ALT+DEL, that does a shutdown.

No matter if I use the normal or the "save mode", the results are the same .

here are some video information I found on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Toshiba_Satellite_R20

I'm trying with the Ubuntu Desktop CD, Feisty Beta 7.04

With edgy, I have the same results, exept that a shell can be obtained later (and I'm able to reconfigure and startx)

Hi, note that you can try the alternate CD if this issue is preventing you from installing.

Downloaded Ubuntu Feisty Final just to test it. Works as expected. Bug was fixed! :)
