Ok, I thought the screen going wacko was some foolish thing I did. It seems that Ubuntu does not support any more the nvidia geforce2 video card and with the new ATI/AMD controller for linux liberated on 8/21 it might have some issues. When I changed some settings in the "desktop" options it went down. I had some time and googled for my wireless adapter, found this page that might come handy to someone : http://linux-wless.passys.nl/?lang=english it was for me. So I downloaded the realtek linux driver and, maybe tomorrow or next week, will see if I can follow the installation instructions (shit, couldn't they just give you an executable that would install it for you, that's how it works in w$). If I can do that then I'll have to download the nvidia drivers in order to go from 800x600 to 1024x768. I used to install debian easier than this, and it recognized my video card immediately (OTOH I had a normal cable connection).
