And And I turn to thee, for Ubuntu has failed me...

Jenda:
Or should I say, the Ubuntu community.
I have trouble installing my friend's graphics card. He has an integrated gc, using the i810 chipset.
Visual effects in Totem are choppy, and a few games as well (eg chromium). Even in text mode, namely during instalation, most of the screen locked and all that was happening was what looked like multiple small colorful instances of the B&W text on the top edge of the screen. This might not be linked to the G.C., though.

Any ideas?

[edit:] having problems installing = ain't got a clue - what to do - and if it weren't for you - oh, what would i dooo...

piratePenguin:
Sounds bad..
What about booting a livecd onto that comp. like Knoppix or the Ubuntu livecd even?

Aloone_Jonez:
What graphics card?

You said i810 chipset, what vendor?

piratePenguin:
Just searched the Ubuntu site "i810" and some hopefully-useful stuff came up:
if it's an eMachine:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HardwareSupportMachinesDesktops/view?searchterm=i810
"Video not accelerated out of the box. Serial ports untested. Power management untested."

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DebuggingXAutoconfiguration/view?searchterm=i810 says:
"  If the log suggests that any particular option may help (e.g. i810 suggests that Option "DisplayInfo?" "FALSE" might prevent hangs), try that."
So you could disable DisplayInfo if/when it works.

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsFujitsu/view?searchterm=i810 says about the "Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L1300":
"  Graphics works as 'i810' but in 1024x768 mode only. Things appear widened/stretched. Compiling Intel's "updated driver" to the thing had some glitches (see here) but did seem to pump up speed. Even with the updated driver, 1280x800 is still a dream.. (Intel says, 1280x800 is currently not supported in Linux :( bohoo.."

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsDell/view?searchterm=i810 has alot of stuff about laptops and the i810 is in it a bit (it has some issues, check it out).


Hope some of this helps.

I remember having a P3 computer with that chipset 4-5 years ago, I remember it not working with XFree86, I also remember buying a Voodoo3 for it.
