Description Stefano Pallicca 2008-04-03 07:59:32 UTC 
The 2008.0_beta1 live cd locks when the X server is started. I only see black screen and the CD spins and stops continuousy

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Stefano Pallicca 2008-04-03 08:00:54 UTC 
This lock happens on an acer travelmate 8104 (ati radeon mobility X700, radeon driver loaded automatically by the installing procedure)
Comment 2 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-03 11:43:28 UTC 
If you boot the CD with 'nox' and then use 'X -configure' and 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new', does that give you a black screen, too?

I've attached my Xorg log after booting with "nox" option and following your instructions on comment #2. Same black screen as booting normally

Can you look at bug #144238 and see if setting Option "MonitorLayout" helps you?
Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-03 16:54:04 UTC 
X11 guys: any ideas here?

I don't own/use ATI hardware, so I'm not very good at troubleshooting it.  Could it also possibly be something to do with MonitorLayout like bug #144238 ?

Specifying 

Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, NONE"

as stated in bug #144238, X launches and the resolution is good as well.
