I could've chosen another iso, but since Ubuntu's one of the better-known recent distros, I thought it was a safe bet. > > what driver is kubuntu choosing for the X server?

Just on the installed version. i told her, that it probably would get in touch with the Ubuntu home site and ask her to install the updates. > > google for the specific chipset and or model number, or look here > http://www.linux-laptop.net/ or here http://tuxmobil.org/asus.html for > the specific hardware, which will give you user experience based tips. Thanks. I'll do that, and if I get any emails from her about the installation, I'll see what I can do.

Re: artifacts on kubuntu screen
I have Ubuntu 8.04 on my Hp nw9440. same thing with the install. activated the proprietary drives system>administration>hardware drivers, download with synaptics, and no more problem. however my chipset is the nvidia fx1500. Have had problems with the intel drivers on a desktop, until I downloaded the xconfig for the 915 chipset Hope this helps Regards chris T On Tue, 2008-09-16 at 14:44 +1200, Wesley Parish wrote: > Hi. > > I've just installed Kubuntu 7.10 desktop on an Asus laptop (c. 2008 vintage) > for > someone at St Albans.

Re: artifacts on kubuntu screen
I'd have to agree. The intel driver was something that updated in the last week on my Ubuntu 8.04 laptop - did you get any updates to the 7.10 come through? There have been some significant improvements to the drivers over the last few versions. 2008/9/16 Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Why 7.10? Recent hardware often needs recent drivers. Try 8.04.

What sort of advice do > people have? Why 7.10? Recent hardware often needs recent drivers. Try 8.04. what driver is kubuntu choosing for the X server? (grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or if it is autoprobing peruse /var/log/Xorg.0.log). Does it have artifacts on the live cd?

Re: artifacts on kubuntu screen
Hi Wesley, How's the war wounds??? There are restricted drivers available under (k)ubuntu for the i810, etc intel chipsets. Alternatively, if it's a modern one ( like the G43 embedded stuff on my - failed yet again - server motherboard ), then you may need to take more drastic action. http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html is what I was working from - just after the 2D drivers. Got it working once, then couldn't create and use /dev/agpgart. ( And then, like I said, it broke again... are gigabyte mobos really this bad? ). And resorted to vesa drivers. This was on a ubuntu 8.04.1 server build. hth, Steve On Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:44:47 +1200 (NZST) Wesley Parish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi. > > I've just installed Kubuntu 7.10 desktop on an Asus laptop (c. 2008 vintage) > for > someone at St Albans.

artifacts on kubuntu screen
Hi. I've just installed Kubuntu 7.10 desktop on an Asus laptop (c. 2008 vintage) for someone at St Albans. It's got an Intel graphics chipset, and unfortunately, it's come up with multiple triple-dash artifacts on the screen. Has anyone come across this sort of problem before? What sort of advice do people have? Thanks Wesley Parish "Sharpened hands are happy hands. "Brim the tinfall with mirthful bands" - A Deepness in the Sky, Vernor Vinge "I me. Shape middled me.
