Ubuntu and nVidia drivers
Hi everyone.
I have an Asus A7N266-VM mobo (nVidia chipset), and I want to load Ubuntu onto it. I know there are lots of problems with Linux and nVidia drivers on the A7N266. Does anyone know anything about this, and has it been resolved in the latter versions of Linux? Or the nVidia chipset drivers? I cant get Mandrake 7.2 to run on this board. But I am a linux noobie. I get an " Error Selected Item cannot fit into memory" message when trying to load it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- -Adrian ......a computer without a M$ OS is like a dog with out bricks tied to it's head. :-) |
