Just wanted to say hello to the forum. I'm not new to open source software, but definitely a greenhorn when it comes to any OS outside of Windows. I have an old XP machine I'm trying to revive with Linux Lite. After a few tries I finally managed to burn a live cd, but the desktop will only partially appear unless I boot into safe graphical mode. So I guess I have to start off with a newbie question...it runs great off the cd in sgm, but does that mean my graphics chip is not sufficient to run Linux Lite normally? I really want to get this installed on my machine, but I want to make sure it's going to be usable after installation. I was wondering if perhaps there's a driver configuration that can be done that will make it work? Any help would be appreciated. I'm really anxious after taking the tour, to get this thing goin. Thanks!
