If the X server (graphical and video display) doesn't automatically configure on your Ubuntu distro, you have my sympathies. VESA is the backup display method, and while it generally works, it is painfully slow. Don't expect to be able to do any quality multimedia viewing in VESA.
Despite tens of hours trying to install and configure a binary accelerated driver for Sis 671 integrated graphics, I have never got it to work. While people are down on Nvidia for not open-sourcing their drivers, they do generally at least work well. Intel graphics are open-source and work decently, but Intel doesn't offer any graphics systems with real horsepower.
In this blog post, I will continue to add notes and hints for resolving problems with the configuration file of the X server, called xorg.conf.
To get information on your monitor
$ sudo apt-get install xresprobe
$ ddcprobe
Other options are read-edid, `get-edid | parse-edid`
