X server Error

[David]

Thanks to all who responded. I got it working.
I googled while waiting for replies and the combination of what the list 
responded, and the google info,  got me where I needed.

I could not use gedit, so
used   sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Changed the driver on monitor from "ATI" to "vesa"

It opened right up. I will probably be asking more questions as I learn 
more about ubuntu. I know I will not have answers for a while. Thanks 
for being out there when us new folks need ya.

David
Off to google some more
