After reading through the Ubuntu Pocket Guide (http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html) this weekend I decided to have a go with it and last night I installed version 9.04 on a older machine I have laying around.
Installation went just fine and after about 20 minutes I could get going with it. So far, so good and I what I've seen from it so far looks very nice.
When I tried to activite the dekstop visual effects, it asked me to install the driver. So I hit the install button and it started to install. After the installed it prompted that it needed a reboot, so I rebooted. Now here comes trouble: when the ubuntu loading screen has finished and you'd expect to get the login screen: I get nothing but a black screen. After waiting for 15 minutes, nothing changed, so I tried rebooting again, to no effect. So I reinstalled and tried again, but with the same result.
I know we have a few Linux users around these boards, so if anyone has an idea? The card I'm using is Aeolus TI4200 8X-DVC128(N8) (or one very simular to that, will post the exact one tonight). It's a AGP card.
