I upgraded an Ubuntu 9.4 machine to 9.10. This machine is dedicated to running Boxee.tv.
The upgrade seemed to go fine, until the reboot. When the machine re-booted all the monitor tells me there is no input signal. I tried using the nomodeset and xforcevesa in grub, but it still does not work.
Next I thought I would try a fresh install of 10.4. When the machine boots from the disk, you will few seconds of the splash screen and then the same problem.
I have tried with both a Nvidia Geforce fx 5200 (128mb) card and a Nvidia Geforce fx550 (256mb) with the same results.
The install works fine with the onboard video controller. The problem is, the onboard controller is JUNK.
Any ideas how I can get 10.4 to work with any of these cards?
Regards,
Joe
