Problem loading Ubuntu into used laptop

SadistSecret · 04-18-2007, 02:26 AM

Speaking of Ubuntu, I'm having problems trying to get it to work right with a Nvidia GeForce 5500. It tells me (when the card is plugged in) that x-server has failed to start, and when I use the onboard Intel chipset (828 something or other series), I can't get my beloved 1280x 1024 Screen res to be available? Any ideas on how to solve either or both problems, or to make my Linux work on dual monitors?
