Long story short. I'm trying to get linux (ubuntu 10.4) triple booted on a mac pro with an ATI HD 4870 -- so we can compile some new ATI applications. After the initial screen with the keyboard and the little guy theres a blinking cursor then everything goes black. I get a little farther with the alternate install cd, however after hitting enter to install the screen goes black. Trying vga=771 and xforcevesa, haven't fixed it either. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what I need to do to get linux installed?
