LiveCD Fails

[Keith]

Anyone successful at installing gOS 2.9 on a HD 2600XT? I always find
it a torture to install ubuntu gutsy on my pc and since gOS 2.9 was
based on gutsy, it always fails during boot unless I revert the
graphics back to the onboard video.

gOS 3.0 is based on hardy and it will work fine but since its still in
beta, I don't have other options.

Also, since gOS 3.0 is also based on hardy, will this display a white
screen of death too when you use the restricted ati driver? one of the
main reason I wanted to install this is its clean desktop, the docks,
and I also heard linux renders graphics far better than windows (Will
use wine on some games) and not to mention, system security

Hardware:
ATI Radeon HD 2600XT 512MB DDR3 128-bit
AMD 64 3200+ 3.0Ghz Orleans
250GB WD Sata
80 GB WD IDE
Leoptics 15" CRT

Nevermind, fixed the problem myself. I guess its the same solution for
anyone with CRT that supports a max resolution of 1024x768.

Solution:
after livecd loads and in the process of opening up the
bootscreen(which it wont eventually), press CTRL+ALT+F1
rename xorg.conf
then generate a new one with 1024x768 as the resolution then load gdm
again.
