Going backwards

[manners2345]

I had some problems over the last couple of weeks. Was advised to go from 10.10 back to 10.04LTS.

Now after a bit, if I leave computer and take a break, I go to low resolution graphics. This has never happened before. I just bought this computer last year, but it apparently is not very new as the technology is concerned.

Motherboard manual says the chipset is Northbridge Intel g31, Intel graphics media accelerator GMA3100

When it goes to low resolution it gives me, I think 4 options, Being almost 72 I just shut down and do an start over. Tend to lose stuff on the computer, but then again seems to be starting to be normal for my brain also

HOW DO I SOLVE!!

Thank you up front for any help!!

Work-around..

Disable the screen saver...

The problem could be the DPMS functions in the graphics driver X server.

Do you use the default Ubuntu or the intel (i915 ?) driver ?

The G31 chipset is best avoided.

Disabled screensaver.
Do not know what the second item is
Using default Ubuntu, when it goes to low graphics, does not seem to be able to load mouse driver, cannot find monitor
The G31 is what is built into mother board

Disabled screen saver
Do not know what second one is
Use default Ubuntu
G31 is what is on motherboard
