Loads to blank screen
I have a new Dell Studio 1747 Laptop with i7 Q 720, 6GB RAM and an ATI Graphics card w/ 1GB RAM. I have tried Ubuntu (managed to load live with safe graphics selected) Fedora 12 / 64 never saw anything at all; booted to CD and nada. I know the DVD is OK as I used it on my PC. Suse I manged to install and as soon as install was finished, blank screen. The only distro that loaded flawlessly was Puppy Linux; which I used to edit Suse to runlevel 3 and still blank screen. Oh yes I also tried Suse in safe mode. I know Linux and ATI don't see eye to eye, but this is ridiculous. Oh yeah I forgot to add Mandriva: Managed to install, but then blank screen. BIOS is up to date.
