Sorry for replying late.
I really don't think this is a VGA-related problem but I maybe wrong. The driver I installed is Ubuntu recommended one from Admin -> Hardware.
Code:
sudo fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.2.9756 Compatibility Profile Context

Btw, the wireless problem has tasken a turn for the worse. I was using Ubuntu this morning to get all the info but right after connected to the wireless, the PC hung up. As usual, I rebooted my PC and tried again but it was exactly the same.
So, I immediately disconnected and unchecked 'auto connect' to the wireless connection and retrived all the info. The following is networking info.
Code:
sudo lshw -c network

I've gotta say my PC is really acting up on Ubuntu: even without being connected to the wireless, it hung up after about 15 minutes. It's seriously annoying and makeing me lose will to use Linux
Ever since I've bought this PC, I've been wanting to use Linux. Also tried different distros. I've been quite eager to get it installed and configured so I can actually start doing some work on it. But now, it just seems impossible...
Anyway, many thanks and regards.
