[aclug-L] Re: UBUNTU + 2001 pc-chips all/in/one board?

["David Carmichael" <dec2955@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well in the process of trying to install as I type this...
Seems to of found most of the hardware but ran into a bit of a snag...
The board has built in video but never use it as I have a PCI NVida card
with 250mb of memory.
I had to change the system's mainboard to boot up the built-in APG or else I
got a video error card error and scrambled monitor image and then "UB" would
switch over to the PCI card and everything would display correctly...
