Title:
  (k)ubuntu jaunty install fails HP550 / X3100

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Trying to install the official version of Kubuntu 9.04 on a HP550
  laptop, which uses the intel X3100 GPU.

  Alternate CD install fails to show anything during disk check or
  install. After the initial menu the screen goes blank and does not
  show the usual progress bar.

  Afterwards I tried the Desktop (Live) CD which did show the graphical
  progress bar till about 70%, then it went blank again. This happened
  in Safe Graphics mode too. I let it continue to install with a blank
  screen in Safe Graphics mode, and it did install now, but
  unfortunately it is stuck in 1024x768 on my 1280x800 display without
  further options in the display settings. Also I need the alternate
  install to work to be able to install in an LVM partition.

  Edit: not Kubuntu specific, today I tried Ubuntu 9.04 Alternate with
  the same result. 8.04 version installs fine.
