I don't know if some back story will help, but more details are better, right? :)
This computer is quite old but it was regulary used with ubuntu version up to around 11.04.
Then this computer got a bit ignored due to real life ;)
Then I wanted to breathe new life into this machine and use it as a backup server.
This computer is sported a radeon hd2900xt previously, but after upgrading to ubuntu 13.10 the card was no longer supported with the properitary drivers and the open source ones were lacking other features.
So I stuck an nvidia gtx 9800 I got from a friend in it instead.
This card has however not been used before in ubuntu so I'm not sure how well i fares with older ubuntus. I know for certain that ubuntu 13.10 experienced this same issue though.
