[SOLVED] Graphics and Sound not found.....

[joelynx]

Hi, I've ran the Hardware Drivers, as sound is not there at all, and video is on low graphics and colors are awful....... It's found nothing, so I've gone to the ECS Website and got the names of both.

Graphics:
º Integrated Chrome9™ HC IGP
º Share Memory: Maximum up to 256MB

Audio:
º VIA® VT1708A 6-channel High Definition audio CODEC

I'm running the P4M900T-M2 (V1.0) motherboard.

Linux is 10.4 Lucid

I'd appreciate if anyone can help, and also how to install drivers once found and d/loaded

Ubuntu 10.04 is not configuring your Graphics Card correctly. You have to create xorg.conf file manually.

Press Alt+F2 and type this in Run Command dialog box :

gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

* Its capital X in X11.

Above command will open an empty xorg.conf file in Gedit with root privileges. Copy contents given below and paste in xorg.conf file. Save file and reboot machine.
