Hardware, new mac running some Radeon derivative. Looked at a few tutorials which ask me to press f6 and set 'nomodeset' but these all seem to be AFTER installing ubuntu. Where as i can't even get into the installer without the screen going black/blank.

Tried the alternate CD to no avail.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Edit: I have tried thus far

Editing grub with arguments

  • nomodeset
  • xforcevesa
  • Installing with pendrive and cdrom

Hitting f6 at startup provides no changes to the interface as per a guide i was following

Will watch for any additions, but for the time being the only method i found of doing this was installing 10.04 LTS (maverick).
