** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: debian-installer
  
  Ubuntu and kernel version information
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10"
  Linux cupid 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
  
  I have updated the system with apt-get since the installation - the
  current kernel verson shows above.
  
  Problem:
  
  I installed this version of Ubuntu on a Averatec 3280 laptop on 24 Jan
  2008 from an alternate install CD which I had downloaded on 15 Oct 2007.
  The installer failed to recognize the display and the video chipset,
  resulting in a nonfunctioning display as I tried to get it to work.
  Eventually I had to search on Google to find what these devices were,
  and enter the information manually.
  
  As for package version, the bug is about the installer available on the
  ISO available at the above date (released version, not alpha).
  
  The display now works fine at 1024x768, the full resolution of the
  display.
  
  Here are sections from the xorg.conf file that was finally generated:
