why doenst this work out of the box

why is there 100,000,000 web pages dedicated to support ATI & Nvidia graphics cards… what kinda graphics card works ootb? friggn s3trio? this is crap

linux heads listen up… write an os that detects hardware and installs whatever is needed to be installed or typed or enabled or apt-get install friggn *.* … the internet is clogged with *nix support with answers that DONT work…

Hello, I’m new in Ubunut “business”… So my problem is the following, I have an Asus A6JE (Ati x1450 videocard), and when I put the new Ubuntu 7.04 CD, and start the install, I got an error message there is no screen. (My hard drive have an empty unformatted partition, so I can’t do anything). I don’t have an internet connection for a long (I’m using my notebook at internet cafe, etc…). So please help me, what should I do… But please simply, I don’t know too much about Ubuntu (Linux), I want to try, if it better than Windows… Thanks.
