How to get Ubuntu installing work on ACER TravelMate 8104

Posted by PunNeng, Sat Jul 01 02:55:00 UTC 2006

The problem is the monitor was turned off when the installer was running because Ubuntu installer didn't know the monitor layout. So we will add it.

I tried to fix the installing problem of Ubuntu 5.10 and 6.06 on my laptop, ACER TravelMate 8104 and I've found out how to make it work.

Let's start !!

After the monitor has been blank(black screen or turned off) press "ALT+F1" then it's going to be on Terminal type:

sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf 

then look for section => "Device" and insert(i) this below line inside there

Option     "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, AUTO" 

save and quit (:wq!) to Terminal and press "ALT+ F7" to return to X-server and press "CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE" to continue installation :)

Have fun with the installer wizard yo!!!
