janfebmar 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Hi So here I am, trying to install Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on my Laptop which is an ASUS F3JP, but i just cant get it to work. Im trying to learn Linux, but its kinda hard , because no matter what i try i just cant seem to get to install it. I get an error saying that x cannot be initialized. Ive tried installing it in graphical mode and text mode. Graphical mode wont start, and text mode setup works fine until i want to start up and load into x. Then i get the same error. Help anyone? Cheers =) Share this post Link to post
peterh 1 Posted August 28, 2007 Sounds like it cannot find a graphics driver for X Windows. You need to configure your Laptop with the correct driver using the following tutorial: http://tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/x-windows.html Your laptop uses an ATI X1700 which is quite new so the version of XFree on your copy of Linux may be too old.

janfebmar 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks for the replies. I havent had the chance to check any of this out yet. I just installed more RAM and will install vista on it so i can learn vista. After installing vista im going to install ubuntu so I can learn ubuntu. Going forward in life =) Share this post Link to post
