How to install driver in a built in video card using K8M800-M7A motherboard?

Asked by jhoeijao

I've posted a question last time https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/69826 about "low graphics" in installing ubuntu 8.04. I got a lot of info regarding my question I tried it but still I wan't find the real problem what I did to check the problem was I used my other computer's video card and it works fine. It's ok for me to buy a new video card but I'm just curious if is it possible to configure my Ubuntu 8.04 to fit my built in video card?

Please provide:

sudo lshw -C display
uname -a
lsb_release -a

The fact its a K8M800-M7A motherboard means nothing in Linux. We are driving the hardware components on the board, not the board itself. If you can provide those outputs we can advise.

Here's the output that you need. Sorry for the late reply. I'm still thinking of going back to Windows if I cant figure this out.
