[Bug 382815] Re: command line level resolution extremely large and off center with NVidia RIVA TNT video card

 

I believe that I have the same symptom trying to install a
LowMemorySystem version of Jaunty.

The machine details are:
      Computer Name: Dell XPS T450
       System BUS Type: ISA
       BIOS Name: Unknown
       BIOS Date: 04/22/99
       BIOS Version: PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0
       Machine Type: IBM PC/AT
       Processor Vendor: GenuineIntel
       Processor Type: Pentium(r) III Processor
       Math Co-processor: Present

       636 KB Total Conventional Memory
       130588 KB Total Extended Memory
       C:  Fixed Disk                   8891272K Total  3852368K Free
       Class: Display adapters
       Device: NVidia RIVA TNT
       Class: Monitors
       Device: HP L1740 flat panel monitor       
       Class: Disk drives
       Device: GENERIC IDE  DISK TYPE01

Like Will the display is fine during the installation process. once it
starts Ubuntu itself then the text gets bigger and I cannot see what I
am typing.

I don't know how to force grub to load vga=261 and so have not tried
this.

I have not installed nvidia-glx-71.

Thanks for any help.

Nick
