Onboard graphics drivers not available, MSI motherboard- K8M Neo-V

[zegulas]

Hello,
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 after using Windows for more than 8 years. I just have one major problem, the webpage scrolling is not as smooth as it was in Windows, I guess because of the drivers. It looks very similar to how it looked in Windows without the graphic's driver installed.
My motherboard is MSI K8M Neo-V. With on-board graphics.

Open Terminal and execute this

lspci | grep -i vga

Post output here.

This may be a screen flicker problem. Try disabling compiz and other visual effects and see if that works for you !

Try to reconfigure display settings.
Execute this

sudo Xorg -configure

In case it doesn't work, we will have to create xorg.conf file manually.

@ ghost at rest, this is what came up:

sudo Xorg -configure
[sudo] password for ashish: 

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
	If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
	and start again.


Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
	 at http://wiki.x.org
 for help.

Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, if there is any.

I don't think that the file exists, still I have attached a screenshot as there is a file named X in it.

Xorg.conf is not included by default in Ubuntu 9.10. IN other words Xorg has sort of grown smarter and doesn't necessarily need the file. That said if a Xorg.conf file is created it does overrule the auto-detected settings by the system.

Try again to configure Display Manually.

Press Alt+Ctrl+F4 at Login Screen. It will switch to command line mode. Log in there and execute this

sudo service gdm stop
sudo Xorg -configure
sudo service gdm start

[zegulas]

Okay, did that successfully.

Is your problem solved now or webpage scrolling is still not smooth?

[zegulas]

Still not smooth..

which browser are u running.
If it's mozilla firefox, then u r right.
Browsing isn't smooth. Same problem with me in Fedora 12.
But u can install ur graphics driver.
Just go to manufacturer site and tell us which on-board graphics card u have.
