This shows up in the System Settings tool, Displays. It shows the computer as being a Laptop and does not identify the monitor, nor does it allow you to make any changes. As well, when viewing the DETAILS/GRAPHICS it indicates that the Graphic Driver is Unknown. However, when using the Additional Drivers, it shows the proper driver for the video card (in my case, the Nvidia drivers) is installed.
I recently bought a good video card and want to see it work at it's full potential. Where can I get the drivers for an Nvidia GF 9800? I have looked around but there is no driver suggestion in the Hardware Drivers option of Ubuntu. I can't get envy to work either. How would I know if my video card is being used to it's potential? Help is appreciated thnx ._.
Hi, I have an old P4 pc,and I have been using an iNvidia card,and it died.Is there a list somewhere that shows all the video card drivers that are in the Ubuntu repositories.i.e,just the ones that Hardware Drivers in Ubuntu Lucid can search for and download and install? I may go to an ATI card that I will have to purchase,and from past experience, I know graphic driver can get tricky,and painful.
hey guys i could use some help. i have the ubuntu version 10.04 lts, and i cant install any other versions due to an older computer. where can i find some proper drivers for this video card? if not, what video card should i purchase for an asus a7v266-e motherboard? if anybody has any answers for me please post on this thread.
I have an ATI 5670 HD. I'm running ubuntu 12.10 64bit. I've been having a hell of a time trying to install the most recent drivers for my video card. Everything else seems to be working with the exception of the video card. It's a fresh install on a new partition.
I currently am running Fedora 17 with 2 different monitors on a ATI 4870 series video card with stock drivers. The system runs beautifully as is, but I'd like to add a matching video card plus one more monitor. My question is can I simply do this with my existing system & drivers or would I need to start over and redo everything?
Hi everyone, I'm not sure this is the right forum.
I am running the newest version of Ubuntu (12.04 LTS). I have 2 video cards that I am using that I would like to use to power my 2 displays, so that both monitors can be run on DVI. The first card is my primary card and is an ATI/AMD Radeon 4850 that is in a 16x PCIe slot. The second is a low-end NVIDIA PCI card.
OK so I just got Ubuntu the other month or so. I'm running the 11.04 version currently and trying to install drivers for a Nvidia graphics card (it's my brother's computer and he currently cannot find the number of the card right now). I read that, to install the proper drivers for gaming, I would need to go into "Additional Drivers" and choose them myself.
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04. Anything seemed well until I installed the Nvidia driver. Then a crash happened.
This situation is untenable. It seems I cannot trust Nvidia, and it seems that I cannot rely on Ubuntu gurus to test 3rd party drivers.
