Issues with nvidia 8400 gs running on pci

Post by Cunfuzzled »

I should first say that I couldn't even install linux mint 8 with my 8400 as the default video card. Installation would simply freeze. I couldn't even get the live dvd to work. Ok, I installed the nvidia accelerated graphics driver version 185, tried booting after I set my nvidia card as the main graphics card in BIOS, and I get the linux mint symbol, but after a second it goes away and I get a black screen. It works just fine without drivers with my integrated 64mb video card, but I LOVE games. But windows is a pain. Any ideas?

Haha, I just realized that there were sub forums specifically for video cards... mods can move this topic if needed :) (lol like you need my permission ^-^)

This is a repeat of the ubuntu forums... Windows it is! I would have more luck creating a hackintosh from scratch with no help compared to trying to get video card help for Linux or Ubuntu.
