I use Ubuntu. Installed it on an old laptop to give it a whole new lease of life. I love it.

I also have a XP Desktop which i tried to install Ubuntu on through a partition, but couldn't get the display to work - I use a 29inch HD TV as a monitor. Shame, it would be awesome.

Any ideas on how i can get it to work? Nvidia Gforce 6600 and 29inch HD display.

 

System -> Preferences -> Nvidia settings manager? If you're using the nvidia driver an option in there should let you add a 2nd monitor.

Otherwise, System -> Preferences -> Display should handle it.

Problem is, its the only display. I'll have to borrow a monitor from someone.
