[PLUG] Video problem with new PC

[Eitan Tsur]

Any way to install the nvidia drivers to see if that fixes the problem?
Maybe try vesa for now?  Different monitor? etc...  Just as a kludge until
you can get the system installed and booted, so you can install the nvidia
drivers.  That should take care of resolution issues.
