okay here situation, have old medion mim2210 laptop have kludged (i had replace screen 1 small , it's taped on) use web browser machine when @ home or out , etc. laptop happens have via graphics chipset installed within can't working. have downloaded drivers via website , followed instructions on there, has earn't me following error messages:
install via driver!
........./usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/ubuntu/via_chrome9/via_chrome9.ko': no such file or directory
...viaerror:the /etc/x11/xorg.conf missing!
have tried create xorg.conf in place have had no avail, did consider tryign use openchrome drivers apparently installed ubuntu none of makes bloody sense, atleast not me. want 3d acceleration work can play few games , have desktop effects running.
have basic idea of doing of instructions a) full , b) in plain english.
further information: yes ubuntu 9.10
not sure if can 3d happening graphics chipset. try system->admin->synaptic package manager, search 'via'. @ bottom of list somewhere should find this:
xserver-xorg-video-unichrome
card listed there? find card using if don't know exactly, open terminal (applications->accessories) , paste in:
should in list somewhere.code:lspci
other suggestion load 8.04 lts , see if trick. try alternate install iso. text based install , might further. runs great on wife's old machine via chipset , graphics.
