Once you know where lspci binary is, then you can run it from that directory. What I am trying to determine is what graphics card, or chip set the GX110s have. If we knew that, then we need to find out what video driver needs to be loaded. I suspect, still, this is the problem. |
Intel 810E, see http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Dell-Optiplex-GX110-GX110
Further It might be necessary to increase the allocated memory for the internal video card in the BIOS. I seem to remember that it defaults to something like 1MB. |
I found this on Dell's site, for the video.

As I said, I seemed to remember. Just booted a GX110 and it indeed does not have that option. It however happily runs 1024x768@85Hz under Slackware (10.x).
Possible relevant BIOS settings: primary video controller auto video dac snoop off The relevant xorg.conf info: driver i810 defaultdepth 24 modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Hope it helps |

Next will be to modify the config file to load that driver for edubuntu. |
Code:
Module Size Used by Not tainted If you need more info, you'll have to wait till monday as this machine is standing at GMT+2 (so it's nearly weekend). |
not giving up
Thanks for not giving up.
Since y'all aren't giving up, I won't either. I opened the xorg.conf using sudo "geedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf" However, it is blank. Thanks a bunch. |
I have never given up on a linux project. I have set them aside until I knew enough to continue though.
