Hi i am new to using Linux and I think Linux is an awesome free OS but I've tried to install my graphics card and the utility found no drivers i don't know much about Linux yet and don't know where else to install the drivers. (I am using Linux mint and my graphics card is a Intel 82865g graphics controller) Thanks
If ASUS does not make Linux drivers for you mother board, then you may have to wait a while before someone in the Linux camp makes them.
Open /etc/x11 as root, then open your xorg.conf file, and change this part:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
and change that to this:
Section "Module"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "GLcore"
Load "int10"
Load "type1"
Load "v4l"
Load "vbe"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "On"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Vendorname "Intel"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Click save and reboot
