Ubuntu Graphics Problem 42 weeks 1 day ago

Hello everyone. I am in desperate need of help, my screen keeps displaying random colours and failing after a several minutes of logging on, but the system does not crash at all. Also, I enjoy computer games very much and when I run games,the graphics in the games starts failing.

Hi, I hope I'm OK posting this here, since it's really a question about hardware and not Ubuntu.

I'm traveling in Vietnam, and my laptop has developed a serious graphics problem. Basically, anything involving hi-res graphics freezes the computer, but I can still boot in text-only mode and everything works fine.

So it would seem to be the graphics card, right?

Hi ubuntuforums, I come to you with a question concerning a fresh installation of ubuntu 13.04 64bit. I installed it on my Lenovo Ideapad S405 it has AMD A-Series A8-4555M(1.60GHz) processor and AMD Radeon HD 7600G graphics card all other specs are in this link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834310637.

I have an acer Travelmate 5520 with this graphics card in it. My problem is that i cant get it to function properly. I have installed the latest ati drivers for linux from ati's website but everything connected to the graphics seems to lag a whole lot. Compiz fusion and desktop graphics is very slow and laggy. I also tried to play some windows games through wine but they also lag a whole lot.

Hello all

I have an MSI GSX630 gaming notebook with a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card.

Ubuntu will not see the graphics card.

If I boot from the 9.10 live CD, ubuntu sees the card no problem, however when using the computer as normal w/o the live CD ubuntu does no see the card at all, really frustrating.

Graphics card not running 15 weeks 6 days ago

Thanks, I am using 64-bit Waldorf. I have also noticed that logging in with a KDE session it behaves quite a bit different. Making me think that it might be using the VESA standard in that case. There is however nothing I can find that reads out the graphics card as GT 330M. I assume that I should be able to read out the card somehow, if it is working properly.

Hey , I have ubuntu installed on my iMac model 8,1 and it randomly goes to sleep, sometimes when it gets out of sleep mode the screen goes light blue but you can still see the desktop apps and everything and it doesn't go back to normal untill I restart my computer. So my question is, is this because my graphics card isn't supperted.

Hi, I set my grpahics driver to vesa so that I could change to a different card without having trouble with graphics. So I edited the xorg.conf file and chaned the grapics driver. Then after reboot, instead of the login screen I got a garbled mess. I have linked to a photo.
