version 2 latest video driver n10 family? not sure rest means. helping.

hi.

no expert, appears have natty believe find not support intel integrated graphics controller. try choosing classic (no extras) although memory others have had problems too. if have no joy perhaps may go last lts 10.04 os. others may have better solution.

cheers,
