no success. alsaconf says "have fun" & finds audiocard.
reboot / gdm restart -> login "no sound device"
ubuntu-installer detects audio correctly as well as knoppix & suse.
Perhaps this functionality could be "backported" from deb-derivate
ubuntu e.g.

didn't work either.
The best I could get was a smaller font during some parts of the boot-up
process. At a certain point I was thrown back to 80x25.
I found some hints about recompiling the kernel & turning on
frame-buffer support or something..
As this is not quite easy & time consuming on my old machines: What
about offering an option in the installer: enable frame-buffer support&
grafic consoles.
Just proposing :-)
In my eyes most of us silly users "want" to put a cd in the slot, answer
a few questions and be there. While "want" is to be replaced with "are
able to" ;-)
I've seen *great* improvement as far as x is converned, so im hopeful
for the rest.
I'm sad to be unable to help, because I don't have the knowledge..
Have a nice day
:m)
