hey all,

i installed kubuntu,
and it's still fresh.

I notice that the graphics isn't performing as well as it did on windows.
the resolution is fine.

so i tried using intel driver but i get this error:

the intel module is already installed in ubuntu, and being used if you have an intel chip.
If you want to make it preform better assign it more memory (from the RAM) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Here's an example from mine:

Code:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device"
        Driver          "i810"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
        VideoRam        98304
        Option          "CacheLines"            "1980"
        Option          "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
EndSection

It's the VideoRam part that assigns more RAM to it, in mine it's set to 96 MB (98304 KB), but you may prefer 65536 for 64 MB
The default assigned is 32 MB, that may not be enough for you though
