Hey,

I am new here to the forum and quite new to linux.
but i am trying to install my nvidia driver for my 2x xfx 8800gts video cards and of course this fails.

i'd even tried some solved forum threads but still nothing (maybe becouse i dont understand linux that well), i get stuck after de usplash in a terminal liked screen where i can log in.

i get this message:
