   Hi,   
      
   just installed Ubuntu to get rid of all those XP/Vista crap.   
      
   Installation only worked when I set graphic to 640x480x16, in any other    
   case there where only transverse lines (red and apricot) on screen    
   instead of showing the live-CD Desktop.   
      
   When setting to 640x480 the desktop popped up in normal resolution    
   (widescreen) and everything seemed to be normal, I could install Ubuntu    
   with no problems.   
      
   After reboot I get the starting screen (ubuntu logo) and the same    
   transverse lines again after hearing the "bongo" and nothing happens    
   anymore. Any idea?   
      
   For me it seems as if gnome needs a lower resolution to start up and    
   then changes into the right resolution (here: widescreen). Else it will    
   hang showing these transverse lines. (But just an idea, I have never    
   worked with linux before).   
   Any solution?   
      
   Thanks and best regards,   
   Oliver
