LIVE CD Problem...with DVI

[spanspace]

Does the LiveCD not work with DVI video cards and LCD panels? I can't get the Live CD to go past the selection screen that initially comes up.

Re: LIVE CD Problem...with DVI

I had a problem using the live dvd to install on a different machine, had to remove the agp and use onboard to install. My next project (sig) doesn't have onboard so I"m not sure what I'll be doing w/ that yet, I'm hoping hardy will work.

Ive had no problems using DVI on my computer since Edgy. Have you tried D-sub and what version LiveCd are you talking about?

Re: LIVE CD Problem...with DVI

I am trying to use the 7.10 Kubuntu LiveCD DVD Version. I do have the option of VGA on my car and LCD; it's just a pain in th butt to get it back to a digital signal after which is what I use for gaming on the Vista platform. I seriously cant find any clear instructions.

Re: LIVE CD Problem...with DVI

I had trouble w/ the live dvd, I did get to the first screen and could choose a cl install, If I chose regular live session it would not progress any further.

I'd try dl one of the cd vice the dvd and give it a shot.

Re: LIVE CD Problem...with DVI

It'd be easy to get a CD version if I had any left. I have a ton of DVD's. DVD install should work, kinda the poitn of having it up on the site. I may try to switch over to the VGA this weekend to get it instaleld and get envy and DVI shortly after. I just wish someone with some hands on knowledge could give me a better or at least detailed solution that doesnt involve me getting lsot by reading 40 other posts.

Re: LIVE CD Problem...with DVI

what video card is it? I have a 9600, and the liveCD does not work with that card (it also happens to be dual DVI, which is what I thought was the problem originally, but it wasn't...)

Re: LIVE CD Problem...with DVI

When the selection screen comes up, use "Boot kubuntu in safe mode". This should use the VESA driver and hopefully it will work.

Didn't. I went with Straight Debian Etch 64 and manually installed KDE. Everything is running tip top now.
