    Problems with video.

    I've installed the new drivers for my video card, but it didn't help, tried to play with vlc player: also unsuccessfully.

    I used following commands for drivers:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/ppa

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d poulsbo-config

    I also tried to play with vlc player

    Could you advice how to fix this entanglement?


    OS - Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04
    Netbook - Acer AO 751h.
    Video adapter - Intel Graphics Media Accelerator500.
    Desired resolutions to play - flv, avi.

    Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Rename xorg.conf file and check if Generic settings work better than configured.
    Code:
    cd /etc/X11
    mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.n

    Unfortunately It didn't help.
    No one from following programmes can play video -
    - vlc
    - smplayer
    - amarok
    Sound goes on without video.

    Try Driver "vesa" in xorg.conf file.
