Xubuntu + Ancient System No Display
MSI Motherboard Pentium III - 933-MHz.
Intel 82810E chipset consisting of:
* Intel 82810E GMCH (Graphics/Memory Controller Hub)
o Digital Visual Interface (DVI) header for optional card to support Flat Panel, Digital CRT or TV out
o Interface to ICH2 via the Accelerated Hub Architecture (AHA) interface for I/O support
----> o Integrated Video with AGP interface
+ Integrated 2D and 3D graphics engines
+ Integrated Hardware motion compensation engine
+ Complies with AGP specification revision 2.0
It's got built in video and sound. The problem I'm running into, is that when I try to use a separate PCI video card (mind you I've set the BIOS accordingly), I get the Xubuntu logo with a loading bar, and after it's done loading, the screen goes black. Not the system has been shutdown black, but "I'm planning on loading something else" black. Even after waiting ten minutes, nothing shows. The PCI video card being used is the Stealth 3D 2000 Pro. Now normally, when I boot up with integrated video (Bios set accordingly again), I'm treated with No Xubuntu logo or loading bar, and a black screen for about two minutes until the log on screen shows.
I'm looking for either of these solutions.
A) I'd like to be able to make complete use of the video card. Load up menus, logos, whole nine.
Or B) I'd like to get OpenOffice to work with the Integrated Video. Right now I've got it open, and the top menu is all glitched out. Any help would be Awesome! Thanks.
