The restricted driver is my goal, and of course to improve ubuntu/Kubuntu. I have tried the live CD first:- Booted ok, checked in System Settings... Monitor and Display, it had detected the geforce2 card, nv driver, monitor as only default plug and play, which causes a shift left making the Kicker menu invisible. I went into administrator mode and then the monitor was detected correctly. Maybe there is a permission issue there. Pressed Apply exited, logged off and selected restart X. This gave some console text and then seemed to stop responding. Had to Ctrl+Alt+Del to start shutdown.

Booting from the hardrive with xorg.conf renamed:-

This was similar. Checked in System Settings... Monitor and Display, it had detected the geforce2 card, nv driver, monitor as only default plug and play. Went into administrator mode and then the monitor was then detected correctly, but ALL the buttons are greyed out! Cannot apply the settings. Logged out and restarted X, no difference. Rebooted, and now the monitor is correctly detected. However going to System..Hardware Drivers Manager now shows an empty box.

In both cases there are no KDE login graphics either. You just get a blank blue screen for a few seconds, then its jumps straight into the desktop.
