Hi all posters,
I cannot get graphics to work on the aforementioned cd - the screen is just completely unusable.
I have a radeon 2400 hd pro graphics card.
Even pressing ctrl+alt+f2 does not help as the graphics are garbled.
Works ok on my sony vaio laptop with intel chipset though.
tia for any help. |

| You should install firmware-linux-nonfree, then the problem will be gone. |

Why from live-cd?
Boot your install the 1st time with tche sam cheatcode + 1, then install the firmwae-package, then reboot. |

@towo
The penny dropped over night. I can edit grub menu directly when the menu is there on bootup. hence I am writting this from within aptosid.
