Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I have a Siemens Amilo Li1705 notebook with a VIA Chrome9 HC IGP graphic card.
When I try to start the LiveCD, X server reloads a lot of times and, finally, I must switch off the notebook.
Installing Ubuntu with the Alternate CD, starting it in recovery mode and setting driver to VESA with the command line, it starts, but of course composite windows managers like Compiz or Beryl does not work.

Please try Hardy alpha3, which uses a new driver for Via chips.
