I have recognized that I need to upgrade by graphics hardware driver. I have installed Jaunty on my Dell Laptop Latitude D620 and it's running very hot & loud. I had the same problem for the past three months with Karmic. The problem that I ran into though was that when I had Karmic I tried to install a better driver and then when I went to reboot I could not see the screen. The screen was broken into four sections and so blurry that I couldn't do anything and I had to reinstall. I happened to have an old Jaunty cd so I reinstalled that. Now I want to attempt to get the restricted driver or the best driver to use for this laptop. However I need to know what to do in case the screen goes unrecognizable again. Is their a way that I can boot and then enter a terminal command from boot? And then what command do I use to get back to where I was previously so I can at least see the screen. Please advise? Thanks, Rich H
