My simple system with onboard Intel graphics (part of the G31 North
Bridge) runs the default graphics for Ubuntu. My display is a 22 inch
widescreen, 1680 x 1050, and it runs the wobbly windows just fine,
though I don't like it and keep the graphics set to the mid point. I
agree that Intel's chips are the easiest for Linux graphics.
I'm using the 64 bit version of Ubuntu.

This is the low cost Ubuntu system I recently built. Intel has just
changed it's pricing so a better CPU should be considered.
Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.2GHz ~ GigaByte GA-EG31M-S2 ~ 4GB DDR2 800
