Ubuntu 8.04 hates NVidia?
For some reason, I end up getting NVidia hardware and I end up trying Ubuntu on it.
The latest edition of Ubuntu seems to have this irritating problem with NVidia powered displays causing terrible resolutions.
As a result, I was stuck on 800×600 on a 19” TFT.
I followed steps mentioned on the forum and nothing resolved the issue for me. Sadly, I am back using Windows, utilizing that unused license I have had since a long time.
Update:
Alright. Vista situation is a bigger mess. Not that XP would help me in any ways.
3com 3crdag675b is the model of the wireless lan card which I require to work on the desktop.
The model has no 64 bit drivers available on the Windows platform. However, it works flawlessly under Linux! Awesomeness.

xorg website freedesktop.org svn or git or cvs or tarball up the source. RTFM first & dont fuck up the existing xorg.conf and if you do? backup the existing configs in a USB key or cd or some shit. and move on. unless you fuck up the thing miserably you wont fix it.
you cant fix something unless it aint broken & bonus tip.

nvidia is not fully supported by xorg as it depends on some nvidia gpu (graphics processing unit) driver details. so try your luck anyway. and IMHO? nvidia got its support built in debian i mean ubuntu i mean debian. aargh, fuck it.
