PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY

[Guest]

Hey hows it going , thank you for reading my post.

I just downloaded Kubuntu , to my computer , and when I try loading it , the screen turns Black. I have a Emachines T6426 2.2 GHz 3400+ Processor Amd Athlon 64 , with a Ati Radaeon 1300X Graphics Card.
I downloaded the 32 bit version .

Someone told me to run sudo nano /etc/c11/xorg.conf

but when i go in there Its fully blank

and he told me to put

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Card"
Driver "vesa"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection


but after I add that , and try to Ctrl X+y to safe it wont let me save this.

and When I try to log in on the terminal it lets me type my login , and when it goes to password it wont let me type anything.

Can someone please help me , and give me tips im dieing here , I use Kubuntu on my friends laptop , and I love it. I really want this to work.

Whats the difference?

1) Linux is case sensitive! When the address is lower case, use lower case. When the address has capitals, uses capitals.

Use the command:

kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf

It's X11(CAPITAL X) not c11.

Change it, save and exit.

2)

When I try to log in on the terminal it lets me type my login , and when it goes to password it wont let me type anything.

The password doesn't show for security reasons. When necessary just type it and hit enter...
