I would suggest using another video card. Anyway, a spare video card is always
useful.
I have problems with my video card, also. It is Intel, also. I cannot run a
long list of Linux distros due to video card problems. I temporarily solved the
problem by using a very old video card but that one is not a solution for Ubuntu
and Dreamlinux. With the older Knoppix, CentOS and PCLinuxOS the old video card
was very good. Ubuntu can be used with it but the graphics are low resolution
and totally messed up, but there is still a fact with that video card: it shows
some details that cannot be seen with the new one.
By the way, please recommend me some video cards that are very compatible with
several Linux distros, including these strange ones like CentOS, PCLinuxOS and
the older Knoppix, before Adriane.
