boot - rogart - 08-15-2014
Very new to Linux.
Installed Lite 2 and works fine . Desktop is great and stable. BUT when it boots ,apart from an inordinate long time , the opening screen are unreadable.
I'm not sure if it is my video card or the way the Lite was loaded ??
I'm using Lite as my full OS on a Dell 2200 desktop . The video card is on the motherboard .
Would a PCI video help ?
Thanks

That is an awfully old machine, I'm just glad LL boots for you
What pci video card do you have?

At the moment I'm using the MB card ... I'm wondering if a PCI card would be better ? If so what card would you look for

Use linux as a search term on the reviews for the card you wish to pick. I read real bad one for the zotac card. So don't get it.
Or copy the model number and use this search engine

Make sure you pick PCI, not PCI-E.
