Ok, Thanks Sptephen, that´s the reason for my query, i made a fresh install on a computer using a Sis chipset motherboard and Nvidia VGA, when starting EMC for the first time i got this message, so i went to onboard VGA (Sis 730) then, the same. After that i fresh installed on a new hard drive on the same computer where it was working originally, and, again, i got this error, so i cloned the original hard drive over the new one, this time, no fresh install, so it should work, and voilá.... the same message :-( . (My hard disk, friend's computer)
The fact is, that in the past, i used an nvidia GF2 MX200 card, and it seemed to work, but i changed VGA because i read about issues on LinuxCNC, and didn't understood that nv or vesa were usable. Never installed the nvidia proprietary driver. As i was using the computer were LinuxCNC was originally installed for other stuff(download) there is a chance that i installed something else or maybe updated... but... should'nt LinuxCNC work anyway? I'm getting tired of Ubuntu, i used it happily until 8.1 release, then i had a strange issue were my hard drive's data got corrupted(Lost everything off course), then i moved on to 9.04, but my laptop lost its portability (not battery sensing) and video accelleration is laaaaame, too much .not. acceleration, so i went back to 8.04 two days ago, i updated after install (not version, only software and kernel) and got in first place an almost unusable kernel, not audio, not wifi, not LAN!!!.... went back on kernel, and i have SEVERAL keyboard and mouse interruption issues for "something" updated on KDE(i guess or maybe ACPI). I think it could may be Ubuntu's fault, never saw that many fail on so few time. (And i used Vista) So, i'm stuck now. Thanks anyway and again.
