hello. I have ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex and I need to help me with this problem ...



The problem is that the letters of toribash are not very good. please help (I speak Spanish)

Hi, a few questions.

What graphics card do you have?
What driver are you using (if any)
Is your O/S 64bit or 32bit?
Which version of Toribash are you using & which install method did you use?

yeh answer skulfuk, or try re-installing toribash.

it is 32bit,
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz,
I have no graphics card, is integral,
do not use driver

Do you know what the model for your Intel graphics chip is?

I have a Dell OptiPlex 170L with a motherboard E210882 integrated video 64MB

Right I've got to the bottom of this.

For some reason someone added a broken set of Intel drivers to Xorg a few versions ago, and rather than just replacing them have been patching them repeatedly.

There's only a couple of solutions I can offer for this.

1. Ditch Xorg and use Xfree86, the downside being the amount of junk that comes along with it, and it'll break all your video setup apps etc - as well as compiz etc.

2. Change distro to one that has a working Intel driver. That'll involve some major google searching and you could end up with a badly out of date distro.

3. Try a different Intel kernel driver, there's a few listed on the Ubuntu forums, but none are official and they occasionally get removed during system updates leaving you with a non-working Xserver.

Sorry I can't offer a simple solution.

hey man. thank you very much

but I am somewhat curious step ...

turn off all the effects of compiz and start toribash is under hehe.

but anyway, thank you

I can now play toribash!

Rather than turning off your Compiz effects why not disable it while running TB. The command: metacity --replace

Then when you want the XGL desktop back just do a CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE X restart.
