Linux On My Samsung

Thanks!

Hello, I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 and I tried to apply the solution above. It worked perfectly for me with Ubuntu 11.10 -thanks again!- but now it just prevents the computer from booting correctly. I get a black screen after the ubuntu logo, no logon screen. My /etc/X11/xorg.conf is different though...
