goto System-> Administration -> Hardware Drivers

It should look for your graphics card drivers

and post the content of

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hi and Welcome !

Have you tried to install Graphics Driver through Hardware Drivers option in Administrative Menu?

System -- Administration -- Hardware Drivers

[boostfreak]

yep

simply comes up with a stop sign.
i have a solid internet connection so downloading shouldnt be a problem

Execute this

grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Post output here.

[boostfreak]

nope, command not found

[devils casper]

Did you execute exact command? grep command is available in all Linux distros. Linux is case sensitive. Execute correct command.

Anyways, execute this

sudo apt-get install envyng
sudo envyng

It will detect your Graphics Card and install driver.
