Firefoxfanphill:
What i have to do is simple, change somthing from 24 to 32 and its fixed. But the files read only, is this cause I'm using a livecd? (its cdrw) Or do i have to go into dreaded (or however you spell it, I don't have spellbound :-P) terminal mode thing to change this? Heres my FULL log anyway

try knoppix, i don't know what to do with that configure file, other then tell the nv driver to ignore edid frequencys and generate its own.

MrX:
Firefoxfanphill:

Are you starting out on an OS other than windows? I would suggest BeOS as a warm-up to some sort of *nix because the file structure is basiacly the same but it is easy to migrate from and you will find yourself using the terminal alot (which is a bash shell) . There are some great BeOS live cd's just check out my site
http://beq2.beworld.info hit the 'learn about beos and what it can do for you' link and it gives you the info. Hopefully you will give BeOS a try, and not get addicted to its speed :) Then you can move over to ubuntu as you wanted too.
