Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "ShadowFB" "false"
EndSection

Hope that helps.

THIS RESOLVES THE DISTORTED SCREEN ISSUE!!

How to do this:

type "vim /ect/" (without quotes) at the command line. it will say not a valid command, but take you to a navigation screen. find the X11/ folder and press enter when the cursor is under it. then find the xorg.conf file. Put the cursor under that and press enter.

Once inside the file editor, locate the place that you need to put the line of code in (it's toward the bottom) and press i to insert text. Type the line in, press esc, then : (you need to hold shift and : ), then type in wq (for write and quit). Do the same thing to the xorg.conf-vfb and you're good to go!

I'd like to thank HalifaxNick for the code and everyone else that knows linux enough to guide us noobz through our first experience!
