Hello everyone, first time user of Ubuntu here so you could say i`m a proper noob. Anyway i`ve installed a copy of 9.10 on an old computer of mine and am having some problems with the picture.
Basically the screen is flickering really badly, whenever i move the mouse or type anything when in screen resolution 1280x1024. I can move the resolution down a bit and it is allright but then i`m losing a load of the screen (1280x1024 fits perfect)
I think it is probably due to it having an old graphics card and needing a driver but i really haven`t a clue where to start.
Any helpers please?
Cheers,
Mattchu
