video error in dual xp/Gutsy install?

tmenyc · 12-19-07, 09:06 PM

I have a dell 8400, with a nVidia 6800 board. Have put in a new HDD, partitioned it for dual XP/Ubuntu boot. The XP installed fine. Now I can't install the Ubuntu because the moment it switches away from the initial splash screen I get a video error:
1: Analog Input
Cannot Display This Video Mode

I'm guessing I don't have the proper driver for Ubuntu? Dell can't seem to help me and I can't get a response to the same question on the Ubuntu community forum.

Help please? Thanks in advance.
