Mepis-3.3.1.test01 fails to start GUI on new ATI X300 motherboards; specifically on ECS RS480-M. Note that Mepis-3.3 does load the GUI properly. Also, when either version is shut down it locks up the motherboard.

force the graphics driver

pc,
Did you try forcing the graphics driver? Try adding "xdrvr=radeon" to your grub entry see if that will boot. Next try "xdrvr=vesa". If all else fails try using "xdrvr=fbdev". Then during the install it should allow you install the ATI proprietary driver.
Also if you can get to a point where you can get a "kudzu -p" output that would be very helpful.
If you need help with anything let me know.
