I use Ubuntu Linux

Last time I went to the shop to buy thermal grease, there was a box of free Ubuntu CDs. Since I had an extra Compaq PC lying around, I decided to try it.

Everything was fine—even somewhat impressive—except for the fact that the driver for the on-board IBM graphics was awful (60 Hz refresh rate for 1024x768).

So, I checked the Ubuntu forums. Nothing. Then, I Googled and found a driver online. But, it seems to be available in two flavors. Neither gave any clues as to how to install it.

So, for now at least, I gave up. I have enough things to do. Tinkering with video drivers isn't on my list.

It's fairly easy to install video drivers. Was the file extension a .deb?

Linux is only free to those whose time is worth nothing.
