hey there guys.
i had installed dapper on my machine...everything was running smooth,until i added a grafix card...7300le(today).
before adding the card i was runnin dapper(had not installed any nvidia drivers for onboard 6150 chipset) and everything was proper.

when i started dapper(for da 1st time wid the card) i got a message at the boot screen sayin there was some problem wid X..and X wud b shuttin down.
wat i have now is the text mode only....i can log in my account...but wid da txt mode only i dont know how to get the gnome gui back.
pls help.

i have Asus A8N VM CSM,512 mb ram,geforce 7300le,athlon 3000+

Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and follow everything. For your graphics driver choose nv if that doesn't work then choose nvidia.
Then you can install nvidia driver as shown here *ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Beta_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
