lscpi |grep VGA

I think that should be lspci, not lscpi (typo error)

Also, note that grep -i takes care of the case sensitivity issue.

[root@fatman ~]# lspci |grep -i vga

I can run Xorg for about 10 minutes.
Then it crashes

i have that same video card in the netbook, it doesn't use framebuffer, it uses another driver, why are you using this driver?

what version are you using? pclinux 2010.12?

did you do a md5 checksum?  the iso, the file you downloaded could be damaged creating this error

with that video card i didn't had to do anything, it worked perfectly immediately and this is why i suggest the errro in the file

I downloaded it from webpage yesterday "pclinuxos-gnome-2010.12.iso"
Did do a checksum on it now and 100 % match so no error there

What driver are you using then and where to get and how to install hehe.
Sometimes it is not fun to be n00b but then again someone has to be that too.
Not all can be perfect :)

just verified, it is using intel 810 and later driver

this is a group of drivers covering many video cards from intel

as i said many time i didn't downloaded it, the install set it up for me without my intervention

now, if this video card is integrated inside a i3 or i5 cpu, that is a problem because the drivers for that particular variety of video card are not implemented properly on linux

this is intel responsibility afik
