SHOOT! i SAW IT IT DID GO OUT.

If you followed catkin's instructions, look in /tmp (not in your home directory!)

If you followed my instructions, it will be directly in your home directory (or in /root (not in your home dir), if you ran the command as root).

Mtk358, Things are a little edgy here today. I am just getting back to using both win xp and ubuntu 9.xxx. Plus a few familyt problems that have been brewing to long. I will get back to you ASAP, but meanwhile it is probably best to let things rest for a day or two.
I did follow catkins directions to get the results and as soon as I get straightened around I will get back to you. Right now I am in windblows trying to get a win xp Blood pressure analyser program to work and it does.

OK! I just rechecked Catkins instructions and found out using LQ869142 or LQ889142 or LQ809142 with a txt suffix got the same results. They all came back as a directory. HUH! How can that be? That should be impossible. I think that /tmp is a directory and folowing that would be the name of the file. So the LQxxxxxx.txt can't be a directory. But it comes back that way no matter what I put there for the file mame. Methinks I need a drink.

Forget about my and catkin's previous posts and run this:

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

un xf86-video-driver-riva128 <none> (no description available)

Does this make any sense at all? I got it by opening the file in gedit which seemed to easy.

What's the output of:

?

0:01.0 VGA compatible controler: intel corporation 82810e dc133 (CGC) chipset
graphics controller (rev 03)

Something tels me I have seen this line before.

I tried this command both plain and as sudo and got the same results. Invalid operation xf86-video-intel-legacy. Which is what we came up with the last time I tried to get this driver. I remember it now. I just can not get it on this machine.

My mistake:

You made one other mistake which I just corrected automaticaly. You meant video but typed vidoe:>) Anybody makes mistakes.
Again I tried it plain and got a bunch of crap. Then as sudo and got better resiults. It starts out looking good then
can't find the file.

I don't really know if these commands are right, as I don't use a Debian-based distro.

About two full pages of stuff on that one. What can I do to get that here.

Also note the "&" before the ">".
