Thank you, Ha Thanh. But I found an alternative way before you posted to
turn off the kernel-mode-setting

"Working around bugs in the new kernel video architecture

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS enables the new kernel-mode-setting (KMS) technology by
default on most common video chipsets. While this is a major step
forward for the graphics architecture in Ubuntu, in some rare cases KMS
will prevent your video output from working correctly, or from working
at all. If you need to disable KMS, you can do so by booting with the
nomodeset option. You can also save this setting so that it's applied at
every boot by adding it to your grub config (for GRUB 2: edit
/etc/default/grub and add nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, then run sudo
update-grub; for GRUB 1: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add nomodeset to
the line beginning with # kopt=, then run sudo update-grub). (533784,

Thank you again, Ha Thanh.

So, what doers turning KMS off mean? What will happens to anything that
demands high video usage (like video games or editing video files)?
