Hi all,
I've been using Ubuntu for quite a while, and I'm wandering about something.
I remember having quite some problems installing 10.04, where as the live CD was hanging. After some search on the forums, I realized the NVidia drivers where hanging the whole system. It is happening again with 11.04, and I don't know why. There is nothing exotic with my conf, I have a standard NVidia Winfast card, PCI express with a normal mother board. Now that I'm thinking, my monitor is a REALLY old flat screen resolution no better than 800*600. Could that be a reason everything is hanging? I have no other monitor to test, so I'm wandering if the screen could create a problem with the NVidia driver, and hang Ubuntu.
Thanks for your help folks.
