NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] graphic driver issue

You can use nano to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. You need to find the Section "Device" and change the Driver from "nvidia" to "nv".

I see nano in dev/bin but it wont open. Where is nano and how do i use it?

Let me know how I can help.

You use nano from terminal, depending on if it's a system file you may or may not need to use sudo.

EG:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Will have nano open up your sources.list file, with root permissions.

Hope this helps,
Justin

I am NEW to linux. What exactly do I need to type in terminal to fix my
driver issue?

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Once the file is open find the Section "Device" and change the Driver from "nvidia" to "nv".
Save, exit and reboot.

i can only boot with cd in as i have to boot in safe driver mode or my
screen goes black after splash screen. how do i edit file from "safe
mode?"

Problem solved. Thanks for your help. Now I just have to find out how I get the correct driver to work with my graphics card. Any suggestions?

Well, if you're using Feisty, there's some information on installing NVIDIA Drivers here that may be of some use:

Hope it helps,
