Thread: Dell Optiplex GX260 Video Driver Problem

i install ubuntu on dell optiplex gx260 desktop. can't detect video driver.
how can install video driver on computer?
not totally newbie, know how use terminal etc.
so, if share code have use, think can install them.
thanx.

tried
glxinfo | grep opengl
result:

opengl vendor string: tungsten graphics, inc
opengl renderer string: mesa dri intel(r) 845g x86/mmx/sse2
opengl version string: 1.3 mesa 8.0.2
opengl extensions:

cat /var/log/xorg.0.log | grep dri

[ 39.666] (ii) loading extension xfree86-dri
[ 39.667] (ii) loading extension dri2
[ 41.088] (ii) intel(0): [dri2] setup complete
[ 41.088] (ii) intel(0): [dri2] dri driver: i915
[ 41.244] (ii) intel(0): direct rendering: dri2 enabled
[ 42.018] (ii) glx: initialized dri2 gl provider screen 0

afaict old box has on-board chipset intel graphics & agp slot..

posted info shows correct/working intel driver.
intel driver free open source & built-in & supplied in *buntu.
there nothing better.

there small possibility of performance improvement & great opportunity trouble using xorg-edgers ppa.
(lotr dialogue)

e.g.: xorg-edgers ppa & intel 945gme:
- compix crashing (partly broken desktop) 3 months.
- pasted text not render (invisible) until changed.
in addition..the xorg-edgers ppa kernel breaks broadcomm b43 wifi module (fixable).
