Asus u81 upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10

January 14th 2010 in Uncategorized

I am posting this for the reason that I found my same problem all over the internet, but not with my solution.

This is the problem: Upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10. Afterwards was unable to find any video card drivers, unable to run Compiz, and very horrible performance over all.

Reason: I had edited my Grub settings, changing the name on my Windows 7 option, and making it the default selection on boot. I did not allow grub to update the file, so the only options I had were old.

Solution: Upgrade to Grub2, allowing all changes. Running perfectly now.
