I'm new to Ubuntu, but reasonably experienced in Windows. I tried to connect a 1920x1080 HDTV to an older computer with an nVidia GEForce video card running Edubuntu 11.10, but was not able to get a resolution higher than 640x480, no matter which restricted driver I installed.
I uninstalled the restricted drivers and rebooted but now I have nothing. I see the BIOS screen of the computer but after that it is all black.
How can I get at least a basic display driver loaded so I can salvage my data in case I need to reinstall the operating system from scratch?
Could I use a live CD to boot and access my data on the hard drive?
I know, self inflicted wounds are most painful... ;-)
Thanks!
