Hi,
As for as I know it should work depending upon what type of Video card you are using.
What are you using for a Video card?
Cheers

Hi,
It looks like you're building a Core/Hybrid system.
Your Monitor is hooked to the VGA port or to the DVI port with a DVI to VGA adapter?
I see that it's 1024/768 @ 60 Hz resolution.
Could you post your xorg.conf file?
(I tried Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia site but I found that using the default NV drivers in LMCE were easier to initially work with.)

Hi,
When you are running through the A/V wizard just try defaults for everything, i.e. VGA,640x480, 60hz.
Your monitor runs at 1024/768 in VESA. Maybe there is something to do with the xorg.conf.
Your display ranges.
Resolution H. Freq. V. Freq.
Mode (H x V) (KHz) (Hz) Notes
1 640 x 480 31.47 60 VGA
2 640 x 480 43.47 85 VESA
3 720 x 400 37.93 85 VGA
4 800 x 600 53.67 85 VESA
5 832 x 624 49.73 75 MAC
6 1024 x 768 68.68 85 VESA
7 1152 x 870 68.68 75 MAC
8 1280 x 1024 91.15 85 VESA
9 1600 x 1200 75.00 60 VESA
10 1600 x 1200 93.75 75 VESA
Cheers.

You need to make xorg use the nvidia driver not nv, also try using the latest nvidia drivers. Using envy should sort that out (it has worked for me in the past).
Download the envy.deb from here -> http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/legacy/envy_0.9.10-0ubuntu10_all.deb
and click the downloaded .deb file to install
Then from terminal run
sudo envy -t
hit 1 (I think) to install the nvidia driver.
If you can't get as far as the KDE desktop, then hit esc when prompted during boot and select to run the kernel in troubleshooting mode.
It will end up with a command line prompt, and type
wget http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/legacy/envy_0.9.10-0ubuntu10_all.deb
then
dpkg -i envy_0.9.10-0ubuntu10_all.deb
and run with
envy -t
(I haven't tried doing this in command line myself, but assume it will all work!)
It will probably be best to run the av wizard again after this so type
reboot
and hit shift on your keyboard after the first set of beeps on the kubuntu splash screen. You should here a different beep confirmation, and it will enter av wizard.
If you cant see anything after the av wizard start beeps then hit 1 on your keyboard. The av wizard will beep and restart with vga settings. If still nothing try 2, 3, 4.
Hope that helps
