In my old Athlon x2 64-bit system with a Crosshair motherboard and my brand new 8800 GT, Crysis loads and plays just fine. When I put together my new Intel core2 duo system, with the new Gigabyte X38T motherboard (with the 8800 GT), Crysis locks up right after launching, on the very first black...

Price drop.

If I won't be able to find an FTP server that has this capability, is there another way I can host files online via a web interface?

I'm looking for an FTP server with a web based interface so users can upload/download files via a browser. Any suggestions? :) Thanks.

Ok, I downloaded the linux driver for my video card. Um, crazy question here but, what is the default download location? :D I can't seem to find the file I just downloaded. And thanks for the compliment. I'm pretty adamant about learning this OS. Aside from the initial problems, I like it a lot.

Oh wow it worked; I was typing x11 instead of X11 (didn't realize it was case sensitive). Thanks to everyone who helped me out on this. One quick question; I only have available resolution up to 1025x768. I have a Dell 2005fpw, so it supports a really high res. How can I get a higher res to...

I'm at "horizon@kubuntu:~$ when I type in "ls /etc/x11" it says "No such file or directory" Oh, I guess it's case sensitive, it now says: apps_defaults rgb.txt xkb Xsession xwrapper.config cursors rstart xorg.conf Xsession.d and some others

When I type in "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (without the $), it creates a new file. Honestly I'm not sure which level I'm in. I'm trying this stuff right after a system reboot, right after it asks for my username and password. Should I change to root, if I'm not there already? If so, what...

I tried using chmod, but it still didn't work (am I using the wrong syntax?). How would I log in as root? When you type "sudo", does it always require the $ infront of it? What's the exact syntax I'd need when using sudo to edit the file? Perhaps I'm just typing something wrong? Thanks again...

At the command prompt, I typed in "sudo chmod 777 xorg.conf" Then I did "$sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and still got the permission error.

Do I type that before the "$sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf", or in place of it? What's the syntax I need to type at the prompt? Thanks!
