Re: Ubuntu 7.10 on HP dv9500 - Blank Screen and Weird Operations

 Hey Richard 

Yeah I did use the alternate 64 bit install and I will be honest I 
didn't notice there was an expert install, I will check that out. As for

just completed a install of openSUSE 10.3 and everything went without a 
hitch.
