Unsupported Graphic Card in 11.04 & 11.04b1, OK with others

Asked by Phil

When I boot under Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10beta1 on my old PC I get an heavy interlaced screen, to such an extend to the screen is not readable.

Under another distro here is the result of the lspci:

Apparently, correct driver should be VESA
