Hello there,
I recently installed Linux Lite 3.0 on a Dell Latitude D400 and am generally very pleased with the result. The only let-down is the video playback. For example, youtube videos with a quality setting above 360p are jittery. I have seen on the page http://linlap.com/dell_latitude_d400 that the i810 module is recommended as the graphics driver when using Linux with this laptop and I'm guessing this module is not included with Linux Lite.
So far I have tried...
Please help if possible!

So far I have tried...
- Looking in the Additional Drivers tab of the Software & Updates utility. There it says:
Unknown: Unknown
This device is not working.
And it gives me two options, one saying Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from Intel-microcode (proprietary) and another Do not use this device. Neither option leads to good video playback. There are no options specifically relating to graphics.
- Running the command sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
(executed successfully but did not help)
- Following instructions on Ubuntu help forum https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i810 but could not find the xorg config files mentioned.
Please help if possible!
