the monitor has all those sockets but i use the vga.
the error message is like - nvidia interface not found.
The pc has an onboard video and sometimes that can confuse Linux maybe? But it was working fine till i tried to upgrade the driver via apt-get install
i have the bios set to not use the onboard card which is terrible.
dual boot XP works OK as I mentioned.
A live CD disk LL 1.08 boot with "start LL in safe graphics mode" boots to a usable good looking desktop. but not going F7 and just doing default boot option then the live disk boots to as black/blank screen just like the installed on hard drive LL 1.06.
I've tried reinstalling the driver. Maybe unadvisedly I saw a web page showing "Edge" repository with latest and greatest drivers and more...kernel too and I did that whole thing - no luck though.
Last resort I will wipe and reinstall LL completely if nothing fixes, but not until I try any recommendations first.
Thank you for time.
