[ubuntu-uk] Nouveau hates me...

[danteashton at gmail.com]

Hey all.

My name is Dante, big fan of Ubuntu and all that; but I have a problem, and
I wonder if you guys can help...my laptop hates Nouveau, you see.

If I try and run Ubuntu on it, then I am faced with a non-starting X
session. Now I'm not any good at this, I'm a non-programmer! Appending
'xforcevesa' to the boot options seems to work, but that only works in 10.04
(10.10 does not respond to this, nor 'nomodeset') to get to 10.10, I need to
install 10.04 and upgrade...any suggestions? It works fine as soon as I
install the NVIDA driver...

Also, I'm looking around for a graphics card for another machine I'm
building, and was wondering if anyone would care to help me out there...I'm
looking for a good card (to power a TV through HDMI) that'll play nice with
Compiz and Unity.

Thanks for any help in advance :)
