Asked by sctmcly

i am new to linux and am having some problems. Whenever i am running ubuntu, it runs in a low graphics mode, and when i try to move it up to a higher setting, it wont let me. I have just an onboard graphics card that came with my computer. I dont know what to do and its getting annoying when i have to run this setting

Low graphics mode sucks.
Lets see what we can do!
What kind of computer do you have? Model? What type of graphics card? What version of Ubuntu are you running? Did you just install Ubuntu? Could you explain what you've done up to this point?
