I figured out what the problem is.... in the live version I get three video adapter choices. nvidia (the default), AMD/ATI and intel. When I select the firsttwo choices it doesn't load x and it starts flashing but if I choose intel then x loads but video is jerky (not sure about sound though. So the installed version is selecting the default.<br clear="all">

I just figured out the xserver is resetting itself when it flashesI figured that out when I moved the cursor and then it flashed and when x came back the cursor was back to its home position.<br clear="all"><div>:-)~MIKE~(-:</div>

X -configure told me to run X -config <path>/xorg.conf.new which kind of got X working. X was a screen of (best I can describe) gray weaves.. Then, after about 10 seconds it started to flash again on 10 second intervals with one second of nothing.<br clear="all">

</div>Your xorg.conf file is trying to load the type1 X module, which this distro<br>
doesn't have. This is... odd if the distro ran an automatic X configuration<br>
tool while it was being installed. You may be able to generate an X config<br>
file that'll work better by running "X -configure" when X isn't running,<br>
although you may have to edit that file and change its default color depth to<br>
24 if it defaults to 8. 8-bit color is practically unusable in this modern<br>
age....<span><font color="#888888"><br>
