new system build, fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 graphics will not work
built a new system mother board = biostar MCP6PB M2+ micro board. 4gigs memory, AMD athlon 64 X 2 5200+ socket AM2 CPU. the mother board has on board nvidia GeForce 6150. I wanted to install a fresh Ubuntu operating system and was going to use Juanty 8.04. when I booted the computer the live CD went to the Ubuntu screen then came up with a screen saying resolution out of range change to 1028x1024 or something similar to that not sure on the exact settings it said. I figured it was something in the bios, could not find anything there. I then went back with feisty fawn, all went well I downloaded the new 9.10 and burned to CD and samething happened. I checked the driver CD could not find any drivers on it for Linux at all. Is this motherboard and setup compatible with Linux? Dot I need to use another flavor of Linux? 7.04 works fine except the repositories are all no longer there and can not get it updated either. what are my options?
