I really feel stupid now, but I just realized that I have to download a driver to nvidia card specially for Linux!!!
That certainly bring some light to my problems:)
The only thing now is that I am not sure how to install that driver.. Should I start the text interface and install the driver from there? If so, how? I read on the nvidia page some command "sh NVIDIA-Linux-86-173.14.12-pkg1.run"... The only problem is that they was so sure about me knowing WHERE to write that, that did not bother to mention that!
P.s.( After installing the nvidia linux driver, will my windows nvidia driver still work? I suppose it do, but just to be sure...)

Hi
A quick test: after the boot, when you are looking at the stripes, press "ctrl"+"alt"+F1, and you should see the login prompt. And return to the stripes, press, "ctrl"+"alt"+F7.
You said that you driver is 175.19, but seems that the latest driver in NVIDIA page is 173.14[1].
Did you updated your system including the driver from Livna?
Are you sure about the configuration of the monitor?
Regards
Marcelo

Nvidia GeForce 6800 GS with current installed driver : 175.19
And about the graphical mode and level 3 or 5.. I really do not know what that is or how to do it. I am as new to Linux as they come!!:(
Could it have something to do with the refresh rate of the screen?
It is currently set to 75 Hertz, (that is the highest possible on my screen)... no, that is probably not it, but at this momement I really do not know what to do!!!
Hope for further help:)
Kind regards:

Hi
What is you graphics card, I mean, the model.
You get stripes only in graphical mode (run level 5) or even in text mode (run level 3)?

Hello.
I have a serious problem with (all) Linux distributions included Fedora. After installing or use of live dvd, I cannot see anything but stripes on my screen. I have a pentium 4 with 1GB RAM and Nvidia card. I have tried to install the latest Nvidia driver, but to no help at all. I have tried many versions of Linux, and also both the i386 and the one for 64, but all with the same result!!!
If anyone could help me with this problem, I would be wery pleased as I would wery much like to go from crappy winows xp to Linux!
