Hi,
I am totally new to Linux and find myself in a mess with Ubuntu.
My problem is that I have disabled my onboard VGA because I have installed a NVidia GE Force FX 5500 Graphics card in my AGP slot.
M$ Windows has been installed on this and the first time it was booted it gave me a down to earth resolution ( pls note : that it still displayed the GUI). I later installed the device driver CD and today its fine.
Ubuntu on the contrary sometimes hangs during the installation itself ( during the scroll bar below Ubuntu logo) and sometimes installs but hangs before going into the GUI desktop.
I did a lot of Googling and everywhere it said that Nvidia drivers are not installed by default. Thats fine !! but atleast I must get my GUI desktop probably with a horrible resolution so that I can connect to the Internet and update my Nvidia drivers.
I have always preferred Linux but now I am in a deep fix.
Pls help.:confused:
