I have recently installed ubuntu and I am keen to become a convert. However, when I start the computer I get, "Low screen resolution", when I try to reconfigure or just to run in low screen resolution for this session it will not go any further, it justs loops on this screen.
The graphics card is a gigabyte GV-NX53128D. Am I missing drivers? Whats going on?
Help please :D

Go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers. See if you can enable drivers for the video card there.

Try this...
When the pc boots you will see the "hit your ESC key" prompt, go ahead and do that. You should then see a grub boot screen with the kernel choices. Highlight "Recovery mode" and hit enter. It will then boot to a choice of options, choose "xfix". See if that helps.
