Concentrate on watching and backing up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Compare your /var/log/Xorg.0.log files for both LiveCD and Ubuntu. Or, simply checking for errors (EE line prefixes) with /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I have two choices here for my Nvidia card. I can either use Xorg's nv driver (opensoure and only 2D - no 3D accelerated graphics) or Nvidia's proprietary Nvidia driver (provides accelerated 3D graphics). My guess, Ubunto is only providing GNU compliant code and no proprietary ATI drivers (or anything ify). Much like the other popular distros. Mandrake and Gentoo seem to provide users a much easier route for installing proprietary code. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Mon Jan 29 00:38:57 PST 2007 _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
