[xubuntu-users] GeForce4 Old-video-card working wrong in Xubuntu 14.04

[fernando]

Alejandro:

   I tried, and also tried this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"

   To get directly to the console, as in runlevel 3.
   Keep in mind I'm trying to install nvidia official proprietary 
driver, wich has disable nouveau driver.

Anyway thanks for the help.
Regards
