    Natty 11.04 fresh install on Inspiron 8100 - no graphics

    I think I posted this on the wrong group. Please allow me to repeat it here. I had Maverick 10.10 running fine on an Inspiron 8100 that has a NVIDIA GeForce2Go graphic card. I did a fresh install of Natty 11.04 (not an upgrade) from the live CD. Apparently everything went fine, however when I restarted the machine, it went through a few messages in the console and stopped there. I got out of there by clicking ctrl+alt+F4, and after logging on I typed "startx" and it said that the nvidia nor nouveau modules were found (see attached Xorg.0.log). I checked that the "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" and "libdrm-nouveau1a" were installed. I don't particularly care about having the 3D driver from NVIDIA, I just want some graphics. Thanks.

    Re: Natty 11.04 fresh install on Inspiron 8100 - no graphics

    [QUOTE=danielsender;10895173]I think I posted this on the wrong group. Please allow me to repeat it here. I had Maverick 10.10 running fine on an Inspiron 8100 that has a NVIDIA GeForce2Go graphic card. I did a fresh install of Natty 11.04 (not an upgrade) from the live CD. Apparently everything went fine, however when I restarted the machine, it went through a few messages in the console and stopped there. I got out of there by clicking ctrl+alt+F4, and after logging on I typed "startx" and it said that the nvidia nor nouveau modules were found (see attached Xorg.0.log). I checked that the "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" and "libdrm-nouveau1a" were installed. I don't particularly care about having the 3D driver from NVIDIA, I just want some graphics. Thanks.

    Install the Nvidia drivers with the system or proprietary drivers. I assume you meant GT220
    AMD FX-6200 - MSI 4.1Ghz- Nvidia GTX550Ti -12/GIG - 60GB-SSD/500 Sata - 12.04 - Gnome 3

    Re: Natty 11.04 fresh install on Inspiron 8100 - no graphics

    I have an old desktop I am thinking about adding a Linux based O/S to. It has the same graphics card and I have asked around for advice. They say I may have problems with Unity being too demanding. Just my two cents, but maybe a less power demanding operating system would be better for you.
    Which is true?

    I have the solution thanks to alex buell at munted and also the posting http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1760671. It's simply to add the following options in grub to the boot command:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="video=LVDS-1:1600x1200 nouveau.noaccel=1"
