Linux Lite will not play nice with VIA chipset

You probably do not have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file made. You can find out by opening a terminal and looking into that like this.

Code:

cd /etc/X11

then hit enter and the prompt $ should be preceded by (looks like this)

Code:

/etc/X11 $

Now do a look see around with

Code:

ls

hit enter key . See if a xorg.conf exists. If it does not. Might as well make one. Then put this in it. Then reboot. Then run Inxi -Fxx and see if vesa is now being used.

Code:

Edit ; I did not like the way the code tags here on this site made my post look above. So I am making another pastebin text to show how text file should look.

[size=1em]I am only going up to 1024x768 as the max since you show 800x600 in your inxi report as what you are running for screen resolution. Add larger[/size]
screen resolutions in the mode line if you need them instead. Hopefully I am right. I mention all of this because my Sis and Savage graphics machines all need to rock and roll with vesa instead of Sis and Savage drivers because of problems with newer xorg versions and kernel versions.

I am just blindly poking and hoping that you are maybe suffering from openchrome and newer xorg versions and kernel versions like I do with Sis and Savage graphics chips. I can be wrong though. Won't be the first time. Or the last. 

One of my saved working  vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf I keep at pastebin for one of my machines (23 inch LCD monitor).

You are welcome to use it also. If it does not work. Rename it as xorg.conf.broken or just delete it I guess. Different distro than Ubuntu or LL. Different machine also. So your mileage may vary from mine.
