Thanks!

Sometimes it helps if you turn the power off and remove the power cord from the PC and from the monitor when changing video drivers. Allow 20 seconds to elapse before plugging the power cords back into the equipment. That will allow enough time for capacitors in the equipment to discharge.

Please post a print out of your xorg.conf file. Its usually in /etc/X11/

Actually you won't be having anything much in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

You need to add a monitor section with modelines.

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor"
Vendorname "Hitachi"
Modelname "Hitachi CM715"
Horizsync 31.0-95.0
Vertrefresh 50.0-120.0
modelines ....<generate and put them here>
Gamma 1.0
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Change Screen section to use this "Monitor" and not "Configured Monitor"
You will also need a subsection Display in Section Screen

yeah but where sould i enter


Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor"
Vendorname "Hitachi"
Modelname "Hitachi CM715"
Horizsync 31.0-95.0
Vertrefresh 50.0-120.0
modelines ....<generate and put them here>
Gamma 1.0
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Boot into recovery mode.

Fix x server. You will get some graphical desktop, then copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Post your xorg.conf file here and then somebody can help you.

For wireless start a new thread after taking a look at the Ubuntu wiki
