Hi
 
So here I am, trying to install Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on my Laptop which is an ASUS F3JP, but i just cant get it to work.
Im trying to learn Linux, but its kinda hard , because no matter what i try i just cant seem to get to install it.
I get an error saying that x cannot be initialized.
Ive tried installing it in graphical mode and text mode.
Graphical mode wont start, and text mode setup works fine until i want to start up and load into x.
Then i get the same error.
 
Help anyone?
 
Cheers =)

Sounds like it cannot find a graphics driver for X Windows.
 
You need to configure your Laptop with the correct driver using the following tutorial:

Your laptop uses an ATI X1700 which is quite new so the version of XFree on your copy of Linux may be too old.
