HI guys,
I need a little help here.
First I may say that totally green in the Linux area and mean totally.
I downloaded Ubuntu minimal ISO and got to the point I needed to select the machine's role.
I chose Lubuntu as I understood that it's pretty light weight and easy on resources.
All went fine until the end, rebooted, there was grub on boot and I chose Ubuntu to boot into.
After a few seconds of loading, screen entered into into standbye mode.
It suspect that the OS is running but there is something with the display drivers or settings.
Recovery mode is working and I can get into the shell as root.
Can someone give me some guidance here?
Thanks

On the step of the ATI-AMD drivers installation it says: "Make sure to download the newest drivers and change the 8.872 accordingly."
What this number stands for?
I didn't change it, so it may be related to the problem as I installed v11.9 and not v11.7.

I also installed catalyst 11.9 (under ubuntu 11.10) so dont think it's that.
