Ubuntu Graphic Quality Issue?
Okay I have my computer dual booted with Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows Vista, when I play a game on Vista such as Soldier Front or Quake its smooth and very enjoyable, but when I try to get a simple game such as Scorched 3D, its glitchy, choppy, and the background seeps through to the game (I get a checkerboard of random black squares) every now and then, same goes with any other game I play. Even Robocode is crappy lol.

Do I need to install drivers or something on this seperate OS? I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CR220E laptop but I already installed all my required drivers on Vista? I tried the sony vaio website but I don't know if those drivers are Unix compatible.
