    drivers after graphics card change

    Hi,

    I installed the system using an ati's graphics card and everything worked fine but later I removed the graphics card and started using the integrated intel's instead. Now I would need some help to reinstall the drivers as now I can't go above 1024*768
    I tried to write in terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it did nothing. Any suggestion

    I tried to write in terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it did nothing.
    First, move your old xorg.conf out of the way:
    sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saveme
    then try:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

    You may need to reboot.

    Not guaranteed, as I don't have an ati card to test with.

      I tried also this and did nothing.

      Any ideas how to reconfigure graphics card in kubuntu?

        Unless I am wrong, there is no xorg.conf created/used when an Intel integrated GPU is present and being used. My HP Pavilion g7 has an integrated Intel GPU (Graphics: Card: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller) and I have no xorg.conf file anywhere in my system.
        Windows no longer obstructs my view.
