graphic card troubles

[tatoniss]

I have a Intel Corporation 82810 DC-100 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller (rev 02)

and when I use the live cd it works fine, good resolution, high frame rate and desktop effects work but when I actually use the computer it does not work right. I might be using a wrong driver I don't know but if it works on live why would it not work on the normal computer.

I have 8.04

Does no one know why, If you need more information just tell me what to do

What happens exacly when you boot? What in particular is the problem?

Thanks for the advice im new to posting. but if you could help that would be great, my problem is I cant get my current graphics card to work probably because it is to old but when I inserted the live cd into my other computer I noticed that the graphics worked. So I tried moving the hard drive that had ubuntu over to the other computer but I cant get the graphics to work and its displayed at a low resolution. At first it used the versa driver but then I tried to get it to use the i810. I know it must be possible because it worked from the live cd.

If you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate it

By the way the one that is probly to old is a ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage LT Pro AGP-133 (rev dc)

Ok, Well I dont think I can be of to much help, but post your xorg file and we can see if someone can help?

If I understand you correctly, you've installed Ubuntu onto a hard drive using Computer A, and you want to put that hard drive in Computer B. Computer A and Computer B have different video cards. If that is the case then try this:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

The command will simply auto reconfigure the xorg.conf file for you, assuming all modules/drivers required are available, you should be golden.

OK I will try that but I can't now because the hard drive is back in the old computer. I can show you my xorg but when I tried to fix it I knew to change it, what you will see is the configuration for the old one
