Recently switched from Mandriva to Ubuntu and have a situation regarding
nVidia cards.
In Mandriva my PCI nVidia GForce2 MX 400 was automatically configured
properly by the installer and I had no problems. When installing Ububtu
the installer froze up and would not finish the installation after the
detection stage of hardware. The screen would go black with a
non-blinking cursor, and the system would freeze up. The install would
not finish and I would have to restart. The restart would result in an
unfinish/incomplete install.
I removed the card and reinstalled relying on the onboard Intel graphics
and had no problems.
However I would now like to reinsert the nvidia pci card, but am unsure
of the process.
Could someone please help me out with this?
Thanks.
