    Acer TM8104

    hi,

    I'm new to linux, so I ordered a cd of Kubuntu. It arrived today so I tried to install Kubuntu on my laptop but the installation fails; the screen goes blank when the graphic interface should appear...

    I already tried this but it didn't work :s dunno if I'm doing anything wrong...

    1. Boot the live CD with the default options, and allow the screen to go blank.
    2. CTRL ALT F1 to a different console.
    3. sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Find the Device section. Add a new line inside it:
    Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, AUTO"
    4. CTRL ALT F7 back to the X11 window.
    5. CTRL ALT BACKSPACE to shutdown and restart. It will work.

    found it here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187179

    so can somebody tell me how to make it work?
    thx!

    Edit: It worked when I used 'nano' in stead of 'vim' !
Working...
