<br/>> I am having problems with installing Ubuntu 9.10. As I start the installation
<br/>> process and before I get a GUI, it seems to be probing the monitor and then a
<br/>> small box appears on screen and floats around like a screen saver. The box has
<br/>> Hz and ? next to it which indicates to me it is not able to recognise the
<br/>> settings of the monitor. This is very surprising given that I have never had any
<br/>> problems with any previous installations of Ubuntu or other distros for that
<br/>> matter. The monitor is working fine with current installation. I tried to do a
<br/>> safe graphics install but that did not make a difference. i tried the LXF dvd as
<br/>> well as the cd I downloaded and both behave in the same way. I tried Mandriva
<br/>> from the LXF and that was OK. I really prefer Ubuntu.
<br/>>
<br/>> Any
<br/>> ideas?
<br/>>
<br/>> Use Mandriva, its a better distro anyway :)
