http://ubuntuforums.org – I install ubuntu on Dell Optiplex GX260 desktop. It can't detect video driver. How can I install video driver on my computer? I am not totally a newbie, know how to use terminal etc. So, if you share which code i have to use, I think i can install them. Thanx. I tried glxinfo | grep OpenGL result: Quote: OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 845G x86/MMX/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 8.0.2 OpenGL extensions: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep DRI Quote: [ 39.666] (Hardware)

I have a Dell XPS 15 with the GT525M (Optimus) videocard. With a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 installation (enabling the additional nvidia drivers) GLX doesn't work.

The Mesa drivers work as you can see here from a live CD boot.

Hi,

I am using a brand new installation of 12.10 on a Thinkpad T530 with an Nvidia Optimus graphics card. I installed only a few applications, so the installation can be considered "out of the box".

I checked whether PRIME was really using the nvidia card, but that does not seem to be the case.

But when I try to run them all I see is this:
