http://ubuntuforums.org – have installed Ubuntu plenty of times on this machine and never had problems getting Jockey to install the video drivers. However with 9.10 it appears to hang when trying to install the nVidia driver (any version). My graphics card is a nVidia GeForce 8800 lshw -c display: *-display UNCLAIMED description: VGA compatible controller product: G80 [GeForce 8800 GTS] vendor: nVidia Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a2 width: 64 bits (Hardware)

I am running Ubuntu 12.10 32 bit with integrated video card

I would like to disable the integrated video card and make the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 as the main one when booting up. Please help me with the driver installation.

Has anyone been able to get good video quality from the Geforce 6150SE? If so what driver did you use?

I am trying to run FlightGear which apparently requires OpenGL. Whenever I try to run it, I get this error message:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". freeglut (fgfs): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'

I have run lshw and this is what it reports for the graphics card on my eMachines E520 laptop:

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit), but I can't use wireless and compiz.

I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.10, but when I try to install any version of my graphics card driver, the Jockey simply hangs.

My graphics card is a nVidia GeForce Go 7400.

Thanks.

I have a DELL studio XPS 13 (aka 1340) as of 12.04 most things run smoothly out of the box, but I have some power draining and warmness issues (if not to be called terrible heat issues)

The system came with a NVIDIA GeForce 9500M (which has Hybrid SLI) and it shows up in "lspci" as these 2 cards
