http://ubuntuforums.org – Okay I have Ubuntu installed but am having one hell of a time trying to get it to recognize my Nvidia GeForce GT 525M graphis card. But my laptop also has intel 3000 graphics. I am re-installing ubuntu and want to start fresh. I just want to use the intel 3000 for graphics, How can I do this? Does this happen automatically even if there is a dedicated graphics card? If it does happen automatically, could anybody explain why my computer reverts to Unity 2d? I have another laptop with intel 3000 for graphics and it can handle unity just fine. Please Help! (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Graphics Unknown? 41 weeks 3 days ago

when I go under System Settings>Details>Graphics

It says graphics driver unknown.

I have a dell laptop that has intel 3000 graphics as well as a Nvidia Ge force GT 525M 525M graphics card.

What Can I do to fix this? I tried downloading a driver and installing it but it didn't go well.

I have a system with switchable graphics: an ATI Radeon HD 6770M, and an Intel HD 3000. I installed the driver from additional-drivers. The Post Release Updates one was unable to be installed, so I simply installed the other one.

Everything works fine with the AMD card.

The problem is when I switch to the Intel card to get more battery life, I have to use Gnome classic or Unity 2D.

[ubuntu] Graphics Problem 28 weeks 3 days ago

Hello all my friends i am new in this forum

My problem is Intel HD 3000 Graphics (no external graphic card)

Specs are : Intel HD 3000 i5 (inbuilt graphics) ubuntu 12.04 KDE 4.9

Problems while watching video : 1. Very slow video 2. Horizontal Lines 3. Very blur images

Anyone can help Thanks

My laptop uses a hybrid graphics hardware.

Using the vgaswitcheroo I am able to power off either card and switch between them correctly.

The issue is that the system wakes up/resumes from suspend correctly only when using the discrete graphics, or atleast the discrete graphics must be powered on even if the display is connected to the onboard intel card.

Has anyone faced this issues?

My laptop has both an onboard Intel graphics card and a nVidia GeForce with Cuda and Optimus. I installed Bumblebee and can now run applications on the nVidia card by typing optirun [application name] in terminal.

The system: Dell Latitude E6520

Video Card Intel® HD Graphics 3000 NVIDIA® NVSTM 4200M (DDR3 512MB) Discrete Graphics with Optimus

Ubuntu 12.04

I installed bumblebee.

I installed PyOpenGL and am following the tutorial (http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/context/tutorials/shader_1.xhtml)

Result on Python says:

RuntimeError: ('Shader compile failure (0): 0:1(10): error: GLSL 3.30 is no

My battery backup hardly lasts for 45mins. I searched for a similar problem but din't find any solution applicable to me.

I use Nvidia GeForce 525M graphics card and use nouveau. My laptop gets heated up to about 85 deg (according to jupiter).

Laptop: Lenovo B570

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 x64

Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4

Graphics Card: Intel HD graphics 3000

So I have done these commands so far in an attempt to fix my graphics on Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get intall mesa-utils sudo apt-get install updates sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0
