Ubuntu version 11 screen graphics problem

Asked by James Waid Baker on 2011-05-15

New version of ubuntu, version 11 has a problem with the graphics on the screen. Version 10 was okay. I have a Dell 4600 with 1 Gigabyte of memory. Using Windows XP which has all the updates and version 10 of ubuntu for Windows ran great. New version 11 of ubuntu; says that I have a hardware issue and I am to run ubuntu in classical mode. I have done this but the screen still has a graphics problem. Pull down menus and ability to read them won't work. Is there any way to fix this or is there any way I can download version 10 that works great. Thank you.

You gave all that information but not the video hardware. The amount of RAM and such are of no value to us.

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a

Thanks
