I've installed it as my only operating system and everytime I boot this error screen comes up. If you cannot see the pic good enough let me know and I will type the errors out. But after I do startx this screen comes up.
Any help or info is greatly appreciated. Backtrack is something id really like to get into. Thanks ahead of time
I apologise for the double post but after I uploaded that photo I see how blurry and hard to read it is. So it reads as follows.

I have tried the wiki page and it isn't to helpful. I can't even get to the desktop. I had a hunch its a graphics driver but I am not savy enough with linux commands yet to know how to install one.
see if there is a minimal-graphics boot mode (or even a text only one) and make sure that works - I expect it's just the graphics drivers don't recognise your hardware as you said.
I assume you are aware of what backtrack is and what its main purpose is (security vulnerability assessment and penetration testing toolkits) - but I just questioned because there aren't many (any) people I know of who use it as their main OS. Frankly its not a very good one for any typical user. Sorry I can't be of more help, good luck.
