Running Ubuntu 8.04 on Intel 845 chipset board

Yesterday , I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my three year old PC.
Pentium 4 2.8 GHz
Gigabyte 8I845GVM-RZ
384 MB DDR
On-board graphics
It took some time to configure my monitor ( malfunctioning plug and play ).
The contents of xorg.conf follows,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
