hey every one ...
looking around, a lot is said about this, but there is no clear answer.
after several days trying to configure this FX 5500 I failed to get the right resolution on it .., I understood the the lack of Geforce cooperation with GNU is the bottom line problem.., mean while I noticed that there is a workaround , but there isn't guide to this solution..
after install the card, I tried the next:
first: - clear installation of new Karmic.
-- running 173 nVidia driver, with auto config at the end.
=> I got : 'input not supported'.
after playing around with xorg.conf, i got no where.
second: - clear installation of Karmic.
-- running 173 nVidia driver, without auto config.
then I installed the driver from system menu > Admistration > hardware . every thing look fine but max res is 640x480 .
adding the 1024x768 to xorg.conf didn't work neither xrandr --newmode helped.
third: - clear installation of karmic.
-- installing the driver with envyng.
still max res 640x480.
I thought with Geforce I will get better Ubuntu, now I am about regret buying it.
can any one put me on the beginning of the right way to solve this ?
