    your res is probly too high
    are you doing clean install, boot from cd
    with vista i guess
    leave a partition for ubuntu
    install it later
    i guess

    I have Ubuntu on this machine on SCSI Channel A - Drive 0 (34G) and XP64 on the SCSI CH A - Drive 1 (146G) as well as an ATI 3470. Zero problems at 800 x 600 on a VGA connection in either system; 640 x 480 however was a mess that only required a few tweaks at the login screen on Ubuntu while installing; after that it worked fine. Gaming is obviously done under XP64 with the latest catalyst suite and works as intended unless I turn the aircon off.
