This kind of thing sucks frown
I just don't do it enough to do effective remote diagnosis - sorry frown

When I'm doing my own diagnostics it's a mixture of knowledge, googling and observing all kinds of weird details - such as when LEDs start flashing on the card etc etc.

If I had the same hardware it'd be easier - I keep coming back to it to see if inspiration strikes though smile

I emailed the person who posted this, and he responded to me. According to him, nothing needs to be done. For him (and he has the exact same card), he just needs to insert the card, the OS detects it automatically, and he's good to go.

Maybe it's my laptop...

*edit*
...Does it tell you anything if the boot process for Ubuntu takes about 5-7 minutes? I get a black screen for all that time, then the login screens. If this means anything (like hardware support failure?), is there a way to get a boot log that someone here could read for me?


This sounds like your monitor isn't displaying lo-res (vga) signals.
Does the BIOS show up when you power on?
This is v. unlikely to affect the card though.
