The old cards are starting to get a plan jane generic driver.... chances are you dont have 3d acceleration working though. Not correctly, anyways.

The main problem is getting true 3d acceleration... :banghead:

Yeah I am not very conversant with Linux, I have had lots of distros, but little patience in the past. I love XP X64 with the new SP2, but this is a 32 bit computer and I won't pay for another copy of XP home.

Wow -- the Ubuntu live CDs are extremely "generic" -- designed to run on anything with a CD ROM drive. The only fairly common problem is video display, but usually "safe graphics mode" and/or VESA mode works on anything, and then if you want the full capability of your graphics card, you need to install the specific Linux driver. You must have something quite specialized in your hardware/BIOS, to be totally non-supported that way.

wow, i'm *speeecial* ;PPPp
I've tryed every chose on first menu screen, CD test, memory test, i've changed gfx to VESA and other mode i can't only change RAID driver but whatever positon from menu i've chosed then reboot...
I'ts reaction to ATI X1950Pro? AMD64 Orleans one-core CPU? Patriot 2GB DUAL 800MHz memory? Every drive (including optical with ATA-SATA converter) connected to SATA (+samsungHDD connected to SATA RAID PCI card and seagateIDEHDD+IDE-SATAConverter)?
Maybe it's SATA RAID PCI card - Welland ST-114?

I'll bet that RAID array is the source of your problem. Do you have a spare hard drive you could just connect to the IDE bus? That would let you "play", without struggling with the other stuff. If you decide you actually want to make a Ubuntu or Kubuntu installation, there are forums for help -- your ATI card will definitely provide you a "personal growth experience". Here's the Kubuntu forum:

Ubuntu doesnt work on my PC, live discs and full installs. No idea why, but it just wont boot.

I run the live discs on other pc's though, probably the easiest to-use linux distro ive come across.

I don't see anything about your hardware that should be a problem. Do Windows boot CDs boot OK in your CD ROM drive? Did you try "safe graphics" mode?

I went with OpenSuse 10.2 32 bit and it works well on that P4, so now I have the 64 bit version on my UL8 machine. Both are stand alone OS, I won't dual boot again as I naturally gravitate to the easier OS, which has always been Windows for me.

I like the DVD version as everything is on one disk.

Well I finally got around to trying Ubuntu *again*. I must say they have improved it a lot since the last time I tried it, I can actually find my way around and do things. I think I screwed it up by trying to remove Totem... hmmm.

Wazzle, was it difficult to set up your ATI driver in Ubuntu?

This guy's "Envy" script did a great job installing the latest Nvidia driver on my Kubuntu system. It says it will do the same for ATI cards -- if you can stand the risk, you might give it a shot:

I like Ubuntu 6.06 on my old Gateway Laptop (P3 750. ATI Rage) but went with 32bit Suse 10.2 on my P4 2.4 with a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128, and 64 bit Suse 10.2 on my A64 with ATI 9500 Pro and I had no problems that I am aware of with video
