[Launchpad Bug Tracker <352322@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have just tried booting my laptop with the live CD from the Ubuntu
9.04 beta release.

The boot fails to start the desktop, putting the computer into a command
line prompt. A quick check shows that xwindows failed to start.

When I run

sudo startx

It reports that
no screens found

I get the same behavior with the safe graphics mode option.

I also get the same behavior with 8.1, which also had the MP-BIOS
bug:8254 Timer not connected problem. This confuses the problem with
8.10, but with 9.04 the bios problem has gone, but the xwindows problem
remains. So it is fair to assume they are not related.

In the case of 8.04 the entire system works perfectly (with the
exception of the webcam)

The laptop is a Clevo D901c with
# Intel Core 2 QUAD
# SLI ENABLED DUAL nVidia 9800M GTX Video Cards

The configuration is obviously that which is shipped with the CD. An
isolated partition obtains the same behavior. But as I know nothing
about xwindows, I don't know how to change the config files.
