1650 Ati card. LiveCd is fine. Installing gets me to login screen fine, no trouble

After login screen it goes black, never seems to reach desktop. Tried pressing F2 and typing "sudo reboot" but nothing happened. Keyboard lights were not working either. I could have stuffed up on the typing tho.

I thought it was because the 1650 is obsolete and unsupported by ati now. Their legacy driver broke my 9.04 system but so did the OpenSource ati driver. Somehow 9.04 seemed to work fine with defaults tho?? lol

10.04 only works in "Failsafe" low graphics mode but this is set to 1280by1024 rather than my preferred 1024by768. I'm still playing around trying to get the resolution down from low graphics mode!! lol, all fun & games. I have a dual-boot (with 9.04) so my machine is still usable :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
