Hi,
I have installed Ubuntu v8.10 (downloaded the iso and made CD) without any problem on my older Dell D600 laptop (1024x768 LCD).
I then went on to install it on my (also older) Dell workstation. Installation seemed to go well. However, at some point during the installation, the screen became totally garbled, and I had to abort installation because I could not respond any longer to any prompts.
The monitor is a Dell 2405FPW 24 inch (1920x1200) and the video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 6200.
Is there an install file I could edit or is there a step during installation where I can enter monitor data?
thanks,
Frans
