Hi,
I just installed Zorin OS and I think is so awesome!
But I got some pronblems, all stuff is flickering(probabily the video card needs a driver)
I got an integred video card VIA® K8M890, the motherboard is Asus M2V-MX SE and I got 2GB ram.
How can I install the video driver?

Very rare card.
Worth a try looking into these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome
