    What is happening is SUSE can write a working video driver for your 
computer. You want to use Ubuntu so you need to work with the video 
system on that which is not working.

    You need to leave SUSE running long enough to do what I asked you to 
do. We need to know what your video hardware is. And lspci will tell us 
that and a lot more.
