</div></div>Very probably your card is to old for the 340 nvidia driver and<br>
without graphical driver X won't start. So you must then find that<br>
304.131 or any 304 prior to 132.<br>
At <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.nvidia.com/object/I<wbr>O_32667.html</a> you can find what driver<br>
supports what cards.<br></blockquote></div><br></div></span><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks Hika.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Here's the card info:<br><br>VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])<br> Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
