Thread: Switching GPUs screen crash issue


hello

got hands on second desktop computer, dad using server. since not need server anymore, i've been remodelling computer fit needs past few days. after adding ram , new hard drive (in order put ubuntu on without removing windows server 2008 - microsoft os, it's decent os), decided switch gpus 1 had on computer, since can handle compositing.

here's thing. gpu worked fine on previous machine (which decided ditch server more powerful hardware-wise), , more annoyingly, works fine under windows server 2008 on machine, cannot handle linux @ all. i've tried 11.4, 10.4 , debian, screen spits out error , freezes. now, go old video card , lighter de, i'm kinda used running compiz (not pretty effects, because find intuitive), , don't want give on having computer work way want yet.

gpu gigabyte geforce 8800 gts, 320 mb model iirc (nvidia powered). i'm not complete newbie when comes configuring xorg, vesa, nouveau, , proprietary drivers crash, i'm pretty out of options here. don't want resort switching distros test yet because don't want spend ages getting ubuntu studio audio packages give me out of box in 2 simple commands...

ideas on causing crashes?
