Did you reinstall / resetup video drivers?

Can you please provide the output of:

sudo lshw -C display

My personal bet is its an Intel GMA950

Peace

then you will need to do that. UNCLAIMED means no driver.

I'm sorry but i'm new to Ubuntu. How can I install a driver for the video card? In version 8.10 everything was working fine.
