[TriLUG] Accelerated Graphics Drivers

[Henry Middleton]

Hello,
 
I am a new Linux user. I have Ubuntu 7.10 installed on a Dell Inspiron 2650
with a GeForce2 Go video card. I cannot use accelerated graphics. If I
install drivers, the screen either goes black, or it will work on the left
half of the screen but then go black before I can log in. I have tried
enabling the drivers in the Restricted Drivers dialog box. I have tried
Envy. And I have tried installing drivers manually. Nothing has worked.
 
Any thoughts?
