newbie w/ nvidia ge force 5500 chipset ?

#1 Post by 911guy »

I have tried twice to install debian and get all the way through the installation only to find out that I cant get X (the gui) to start up. After reading through post here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... ght=nvidia
it sounds like this is a known issued and I'm prepared to attempt another installation tonight...however during install what video chipset would be the best choice to start with vesa or nv?

Pardon my simple question, but I'm new to linux; and after having it on my laptop for a weeks now...I'm hooked...I would love to get this going on my desktop box.
