Like Thomas, I was concerned but I followed their instructions and disabled the driver. After restarting, I reactivated the driver that Ubunut offered me. Everything seems to be running alright.

" (from my dmesg results)

As far as I know, I have an ATI 9550 AGP video card. So, it recognizes that card. I'm not entirely sure where to find the exact maufacturer and model of the card though, since it's not showing in dmesg anywhere.

If there's anything else that I can (or need to) provide, let me know.
Have a great day:)
Patrick.
