http://ubuntuforums.org – I just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu 12.4 on my gateway nv57h26u. However I have a feeling my video driver is not properly installed. When i click on "details" in the settings menu it says my graphics is "unknown". Under the graphics tab it says Driver unknown and experience standard. Anyone know how i can go about installing the prober video drivers for this laptop? (Hardware)

Hi all,

My laptop at work was recently upgraded from a Lenovo T61 to a Lenovo T510. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on it yesterday but I am having some driver issues with the video. Under System Info > Graphics the driver says Unknown. I have the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 5700MHD in my laptop. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there somewhere I can download the correct driver from?

Need some expert advise here please.

Burned up a clean download copy of Ubuntu 12.04 32bit to cd and installed. 500GB drive partitioned nearly 50/50 for Winbloze7 and Ubuntu 12.04.

Everything appears to have installed properly. In the System Settings | Additional Drivers the NVIDIA driver is referenced.

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.

Hi there! The ati graphics-card i have installet in my laptop is HD 5470. I have installed the drivers both from the repositories AND from System Settings -> Additional Drivers -> ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. I can locate the Catalyst Control Center, but i cannot open it.

Howdy,

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on a Lenovo X500 laptop. Today I decided to install the proprietary ATI/AMD graphics driver that was shown as available in the "Hardware drivers" Administration menu. I clicked "Activate" and it installed and told me I needed to reboot.

Unichrome and OpenSuse 11.2 3 years 24 weeks ago

Before OpenSuse 11.2 I used some Debian-based distros that used to have a good support for my integrated video card Via Unichrome P4M800 Pro / CN700. I had 3D running with direct rendering by Mesa. With OpenSuse I'm having problems to configure my graphics with a good configuration...

Hi can anybody help with my Video problem, I have activated dual screen monitors using the Nvidia driver GUI as Sax2 would not correctly configure it. Now at every boot I get the message "undefined video mode 31a, press [enter] for a list of video modes or [space] to continue. After pressing space the system boots to my liking, how can I get rid of the message at every boot up?
