I'm not really new to Linux but I'm stumped on this one.
I changed my video card from a Matrox G450 to an Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 and now I cannot see anything when X starts. Nothing at all.
I can get to a command prompt by selecting the recovery mode boot option, but what then?
Do I need to install some proprietary NVIDIA drivers?
I'm on 26.4Kbps dialup so I'd rather not use apt-get directly but download any required files in a controlled way (with resume) then install from local files as I usually do with everything.
Any tips for me?
