On-boot I get EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 8 error. The error doesn't seem to cause any problems and Lubuntu continues to load and everything seems to be OK.

I had to add the Battery Indicator and I did set the Laptop=yes thing in the config file to get the power manager to auto load on start but would love to solve the EDID error. Can anyone please help.

On looking at the lspci -v output I can see that the VGA Compatible controller is 945GSE Express Integ and the Display controller is 945GM/GMS/GME, can anyone suggest anything, I am not an experienced Linux user but I have not found much on Google.

I tried many things but not the nomodeset and guess what? It works. Anyone else having the same problem can follow the instructions here:

Basically the instruction was adding nomodeset option to /etc/default/grub files GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT key. Like this

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

and it worked great. The boot time is a little longer but no EDID errors.
