Whenever I tried to install Ubuntu / Debian or even booting live CD, it say
"low graphics mode" and always ends up with the console. I tried googling a
lot and find that the problem is with Radeon graphics drivers and couldn't
find any optimal solution.
Try installing the ATI binary blobs.
I would recommend installation from an alternate ISO/image of Ubuntu.
Installs much faster than the GUI install. Set the default to console
login. Install the ATI binaries and invoke X. If it falls back to the
console, see the error in the logs. This will give you pointers.
I've a AMD desktop with a Radeon card with HDMI and VGA interface at
home. I was able to get display on the HDMI display while installing
Ubuntu though to a max of 1440x900 resolution. Post installation, I
installed the Radeon 5450 (my card) drivers from the Dell site and
then was able to get full HD output.
