Have to quit for a few months

I didn't now where to put it so i'll post it here.

A week ago my computer wasn't able to boot. I fixed it with a motherboard battery. Last thursday it wouldn 't boot again. So i bought a new computer. Without windows because i am running Linux. But now i have a problem. My graphics card is very new so there aren't any good drivers. Gaming is not an option at the moment. In october a new version of linux is comming hopefully with good drivers. So till then i'm off

But when my graphics card works good i'll be back

Which graphics card do you have? If it's nvidia, did you try installing beta drivers (current version 100.14.06)?

It is an Nvidia 8600GT

i tried to install those beta drivers. They make an own kernel. But when i then reboot i get an error:
can't reach the nvidia kernel (or something like that) and a reinstall was nessecary. So i decided to wait for the next version of linux.

Hm i got a similar error on gentoo (something like "can't load kernel module nvidia.ko"), then i did a modprobe nvidia and it worked
Maybe there's a manual or tutorial on installing nvidia drivers for your distribution

Yeah maybe i'll see what i do with it. But when i got that message i can't do anything anymore my screen stays black.

Ok yesterday the beta of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 is released. I installed it just now and checked the videocard and it works

I think i'll be playing in just a week or 2.

If i have questions you'll hear it.
