Hi to all.
Recently my old graphic card (geforce 8600 gts) died, leaving me with modern art boot screens full of red squares, green lines or white dots. Ubuntu was replaced by little green waves.
So I have replaced the card with an asus eah5570. I have a dual boot with vista and under windows it works without problems (not too many at least).
When I boot into ubuntu (lucid) I get instead a black screen and the monitor switches to idle. Ubuntu works (there is the login sound) but I can't see anything.
I can't see anything even if i switch to terminal session (Ctrl+Alt+F1).
Even the lucid live cd does not work. The 9.04 live cd works but the graphic is not perfect.
What can I do? Any suggestion?
This thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463961) seems to apply, but I do not really understand. Moreover I can't really experiment around not seeing a thing.
Any help will be much appreciate,
Marco
EDIT: I have it working connencting the monitor with the VGA insted of the DVI. Any idea on how the get the DVI working?
