Same here, I'm a linux newbie and thought I'd try it for the first time on my old pc. I ran into this error when installing Ubuntu 8.10 and assumed the problem was with my old nVidia graphics card (FX 5200) which I know to be faulty from playing games on windows XP. I too have a Wacom tablet - the Volito 2 - and unplugging it solved the problem so thanks a lot; you saved me a lot of pain ;)
I haven't had time to look at Ubuntu yet but it looks pretty cool, I should've tried it ages ago... I only really need XP for games now. BTW it turns out my FX 5200 works fine, the problem is with its windows driver -.- -- X server display error during Intrepid 8.10 RC installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288991 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
