screen does not refresh properly

Asked by moatman1948

Ubuntu 7.04 Ausu motherboard K8S-MX chipsets sis 760GX and sis 965L using on board video
Compaq v75 monitor model 624T
System reports
1024X768 at 60Hz
Sis real 256E
configuration test fails
Screen locks up if I go online soon after start up
I find that if i play geometris after start up this will settle the system down
When playing card games I get strange dual images
odd coloured boxes appear on the top panel
If I try to shut down and reboot a blank panel appears without the buttons which will appear if I move the mouse over the box

You should check your onboard Video card drivers.Search the google and ubuntu forums about 965L video card.If you see something wrong, then you should probably edit you /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.The file is contains information about your video card drivers and monitor setup.Just check the configuration that you found on google.Then you can ctrl+alt+backspace to restart x , actually to try the new settings.If you cant turn x after you change settings and come up with console, then you can "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg".If you want to edit your xorg.conf file in konsole mode, you can "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf".In nano you can save settings by "ctrl+o" then "enter", and you can quit with "ctrl+x".Then if you want to try to start x , you can type "startx" in console mode.

Can you help with this problem?
