Stupid Question
 

I'm using Edubuntu 9.10. Yes, I've read that it is a crappy version - but it's too late for me to change and I'm not going to wait till the end of April for the official version. And for my purposes (classroom PCs) it's just fine.

Anyway, I'm a Linux noob so bear with me. The 4 year old PCs in class all have integrated video processing. Do I need to install Linux video drivers?

Re: Stupid Question
 

It's not a stupid question.

Integrated video on the motherboard drivers usually come part of the distribution and should be automatically setup. In other words, the video drivers should just work without the need to install anything.

I'm not sure about that version but I would assume it works the same, being as XOrg takes care of that.

What kind/brand of integrated video hardware?

UniChrome drivers are part of Xorg and in with the distro. I don't see why it would be any different for Edubuntu.

I found this capt, don't know if it will help or not.

Is there a particular issue you're having or just general curiosity?

Re: Stupid Question
 

it should install by default. every older pc i have installed ubuntu on had the video card totally found and setup right out of the box.

something broken?

Re: Stupid Question
 

The only issues I've seen (and had the problem with ubuntu myself on rare occasion) is that all available resolutions won't be available unless rebooted. Why I don't know.

No issues. Just asking

Thanks for the responses.
