Īnother problem that confused my mother was that the volume control icon had gone. I was inclined to blame the first on the new video driver, but I solved it by disabling “Hardware Acceleration” in the Flash plugin preferences. I had two other issues that popped up after the upgrade the 10.04.

Restarting the X server after that was a bit difficult, since the upgrade to 10.04 also fucked up the console (that damn framebuffer) and because Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is disabled by default. #Edit /etc/X11/nf and set `Driver "sis671"` on the "Device" Section & EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim Sudo cp sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers (I just always cringe when something happens outside of package management.) 🙁 Installing the binary driver wasn’t too difficult. Who cares? The point is that I’m uploading the files I found here so that I don’t have to jump through MegaUpload hoops again (and sit through MedaAnnoying ads): I solved the problem by manually installing a replacement driver that I found through a blog post that I found through another blog post that I found through a forum post. It didn’t.Ġ1:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) Reconfiguring the driver didn’t do much good, so I upgraded the machine to 10.04, hoping that that would fix it. At the time, the laptop was running Ubuntu 9.04 (I think). The video on my mom’s laptop, A Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5535, had recently gone awry.
