Need some help with getting 3D graphics working

lootic · 03-17-2010, 09:16 AM

Hardinfo report saved as txt attached, original HTML code is not changed(so just changing it back to html should make it look like it should be.

I recently installed ubuntu at a kinda old computer as a favor, but I cant get the graphic drivers working sadly and the guy wanted lots of cool desktop effects.

The googling ive done told me it should be possible to make it work but I havent found a guide. But I cant say Im sure.

Help, please

yeah, what kind of video card are you using?

Go to the card's manufacturer website and download the linux driver for your video card from them.

The attached "hardinfo_report.txt" says :
"Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP
or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter"

I don't think, you will get any 3D with that.
Suggest : plug in any old 'Nvidia' graphics card.
