Xubuntu 13.04, Intel video chip, bad color and video
I'm using an Intel mother board (D865G SA), about a 2006 vintage, and using the built in video port. The video chip is Intel 865G Extreme Graphics 2. Previous versions of Xubuntu looked normal, but with 13.04 I seem to have degraded color depth. For example, the stock wallpapers are gradient images, and they appear with 'banding'. Also, any video looks really bad. I tested 13.04 on a new Acer laptop and it looked great, and I checked the color palette settings to compare with the one I'm having trouble with, and they were the same. I would guess the diagnostic process would consist of identifying whether or not this video device is still supported, then move on to identify if the video driver is faulty, missing or incorrect. Any suggestions to put me on the right track? Thanks in advance.
