Getting Linux going
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2007 4:18 am
I just installed Ubuntu Linux, so my system is now a tri-boot XP/Vista/Ubuntu. I'm completely new to Linux, and need a bit of help along the way.
-Wireless driver: How do I install Ndiswrapper to use a Windows wireless driver with Ubuntu, so I can get online? My wireless adapter is a Netgear WPN111.
(I can't download it except from Windows..so don't tell me to download from the Add/Remove Applications screen. I don't have a wired connection to my modem.)
-Display Driver: How would I go about installing the Linux driver for an nVidia GeForce 6150 LE on Ubuntu? I kept getting an error about the fact that I was "running an X server". I would like to run at a better resolution than 800x600..
Hopefully someone here knows Linux..
