Finally!
Ubuntu released Jaunty Jackalope 9.04.
I haven't the time, till the w-e, to install it on my main laptop, due to full backup time... :)
Since.... I don't remember since when.... I have at home a laptop IBM Thinkpad R30. I tried many times over the past years to install an Ubuntu release without success.
I haven't given much time to find out the problems.
This was the perfect machine to try, and hope in, Jaunty.
And...
Tadaaaa...
Ubuntu installed without problems... nor kernel boot parameters... nor ... nothing at all.
The only problem was that the screen res was only 800x600... :) ... I say «was» cause after a bit of googling I found (as always) the solution.
Below the content of the super-natural /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
