  1. You did not specify if you are using a Laptop with integrated screen or a desktop computer with external screen (and which manufactor, model number)? This would be helpful.



If the last is the case: Do you use a DVI cable? It might be possible that Ubuntu is not able to determine the right resolution using a VGA cable.

This cheap chip is not well supported under linux, your system uses now the standard VESA driver which is slow and only lasts a maximum of 1024x768 resolution. If you are using a desktop computer and really solve the problem without fiddling around, I would suggest to get the cheapest possible nvidia graphics card - either a new one or used one at exxx - and your problems should be completely solved (after installing the proprietary nvidia driver with jockey-gtk). Sorry to tell you about this. See e.g. here
