Intel 82845g ubuntu 10.04

>I am new to Ubuntu and I am trying to enable video effects to norma

* What do you mean by "normal"?
* Can you get to a graphical interface?
* Are you running from a liveCD/USB or from an install?

I mean in the visual effect category there is none, normal, and extra and my
pc stays on none. when I search for drivers it says none and I have
integrated intel. I ran the liveCD to install Ubuntu fully on my pc and
wiped windows off. And yes I am on the desktop now tried updating GUI says
up to date.

OK, if I undertand correctly, you are trying to enable 3D desktop effects? If so, can you provide the output of the following terminal command (to open a terminal, Ctrl+Alt+T, or from applications menu)?

lspci

yes and after doing so this is what i get:

So now what do I do nothing has changed?

The command I gave above was to get info on your system only, it does not have any other effect.

Open a terminal, and try this

mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz/ && echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager

-- How I came up with that --

The command I gave previously was to get the full device name for your graphics card. By searching for :
http://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=82845G+Brookdale+ubuntu+desktop+effects+disabled

I found this:
http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/ubuntu-jaunty-904-intel-graphic-drivers.html

which showed me SKIP_CHECKS

which brought me to : http://wiki.compiz.org/Hardware/Blacklist

Note, from the compiz page:

NOTE: Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 no longer uses compiz-manager and has patched their version of compiz to include all checks into the compiz binary without a way to bypass them. While most of the checks are there for a good

So, it is being disabled because your graphics card driver does not fully support it. As it says, if you are running >=10.04, then you will need to go a step further to bypass this lock. Note that bypassing it may cause rendering errors, as presumably there is a reason it is being blacklisted.

I am still not able to enable video effects it stills says no device found>

Just to clarify, please read the bit I posted:
>NOTE: Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 no longer uses compiz-manager and has patched their version of compiz >to include all checks into the compiz binary without a way to bypass them. While most of the checks >are there for a good

If you want to bypass this, you will need to manually modify the compiz package

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/259385

Some hints on getting started are available here:
http://www.moosechips.com/2008/09/ubuntu-rebuild-a-source-package/

You will need to look at their patches (probably debian/patches/) to remove the check.

So am I better off getting new graphics card. And if so is their one that work especially well with Ubuntu and allows 3d.

you may want to look at

linuxhcl.org

this is a community based database which gives scores for different hardware. Look for ones that are labelled as working out of the box with ubuntu.
