Installation issues / Re: Installation confusion

Thanks!!!     That points me in a right direction.  Found this: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Display_Drivers#ATI_Chipsets

Will look into installing the drivers after fresh install of Kubuntu.  Then I will install LinuxMCE to see if that helps.  If not I'll try again with line hacks:  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/AtiProprietaryDriver

I'll give this a try when I get a chance.  Currently, I use the computer for BTV Link.  So, when the wifey not watching recorded shows, then I'm able to work on this.  May not get a chance until the weekend.  If anyone has other information or suggestions, please post.  I'm trying to get through the learning curve.

Maybe that will help.  I will post back when I get a chance.  I still don't remember me getting a restart after LinuxMCE installation.  I don't even remember this:  http://wiki.linuxmce.org/images/thumb/0/02/Snapshot14.JPG/400px-Snapshot14.JPG

My system specs:

ATI AIW 9700 PRo
2.4G Intel Hyperthread
Tv with DVI

I used the component out of the 9700 to connect with 1080 HD res but was using the DVI when using and installing Kubuntu.

Hello All,

My 1st post 

Anyway.  I installed Kubuntu 7.04 (fresh install)  I saw a small window on my TV through DVI.  Everything visible.

Then I started to install the LinuxMCE 1.0 and verified disc 1 and disc 2 and Kubuntu live disc.  Then screen goes black.  (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installation_Guide)  Don't remember seeing the Linux installation package.

Then on my tv I get resolution invalid (message from TV not computer).  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I maybe can connect a real monitor to see what's going on but I would think LinuxMCE will install using tv compatible screen resolutions (if that even the case).  I was able to see and use Kubuntu on the tv without having to change to resolution.
