hi all
im installing GG7.10 on an oldish PC. the GPU is an FX5200 AGP card.
now i have already installed twice and every time i switch the restricted drivers on and restart i end up with a blank screen. this is why ive had to install twice so far because i didnt know how to recover using the 'recovery mode'. so ive finished installing for the 3rd time and ive uninstalled the nvidia drivers and got the new glx ones via terminal. now im not switching the restricted drivers on until someone tells me a) how to recover if it fails again and b) what might i have missed that may save the situation? id be really gratefull for some help. btw the LCD monitor displays an out of range fault during the failure.
