Question no screen detected!

This is my first time installing linux (I've used before but not on my own computer).

I downloaded Ubuntu 6.10 (might try something else). When I try to install I get a message "no screen detected" or something very similar. I think it might be my graphics card I have a radeon x600 and i connect thru DVI.



Suggestions?

Default

Try Another Distro....

Linux Distro Choosers

A few recomendations:

Kubuntu
http://www.kubuntu.org/

PCLinuxOS .92
http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/dist...glish/preview/
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distr...glish/preview/

This is the distro I use and recommend, Why because it works right out of the box. No need to configure Everything, everything just works. It also comes as a 1 CD install that is a live CD that you can install later if you wish.

Hope this Helps,
