Can someone help me out and explain or point me in the right direction on how to check video drivers and see if my video card running okay?

I had 10.04 installed on my Thinkpad r61 with Compiz Manager and life was great, until the machine took water damage. I bought an ASUS (X54H) since and am trying out 12.04, but the desktop just doesn't look right.

I always struggled with video driver installation. There are no proprietary drivers available in the hardware manager.

When I run lspci grep VGA:

I will greatly appreciate your help. I want to use Linux more, but like I said video drivers appear to be my biggest concern. I have also tried 12.04 on my desktop PC, but again failed to configure video card, so switched back to Windows 7.

The Intel graphics driver is part of the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver package, which is installed on all Ubuntu systems by default. And since it isn't a proprietary driver package, it doesn't show up in jockey (aka the Hardware Drivers application).

Just to ensure it didn't get removed by mistake (very slim possibility), just run this command:

If the driver is installed, and you're still having issues with graphics on your desktop, then please file a bug report against the xorg package, using this terminal command:

Intel Graphics Driver Ubuntu 14.04

The Ubuntu Forums has a good description of how to install/update the Intel graphic driver in Ubuntu.

Extract of the pertinent part is as given below:

  1. Open a terminal session by pressing CTRL+ALT+T

  2. Run command to install ppa:

  3. Install the drivers for your graphics chip

Ubuntu no longer uses xorg.config file. You will have to create this file in the next step and enter in values.

Create file sudo -H gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit it

Save and close it. Restart your interface or just reboot you machine and go back to system settings - details - graphics and verify that your drivers are displayed.

I hope this helps someone, I actually was trying to load the MAME arcade emulator on my Lubuntu 15.10 and had to do the following since I got this error:

Ubuntu Install Intel Graphics Driver

I tried every suggestion in this thread, which didn't seem to resolve the issue. I also did the following:

tried the steps here:So, the rub (if your Google-fu takes you here directly) to get this to work (on Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10):

ALSO AFTER DOING THAT, I DID THIS:

Lubuntu System Menu [Bottom Left Corner] > Preferences > Additional Drivers Choose > Using Processor Microcode from Intel CPUs from intel-microcode [Proprietary]

INSTALLED THE OPTION ABOVE and NOW MY ERROR is gone!! I'm using a Dell Dimension 3000 which this worked/resolved issue.

For Ubuntu laptops with dual graphics cards, Intel graphics is being used by default. To get the best graphics performance for playing games or charting, you need to manually switch to NVIDIA graphics card.

This can be easily done after installing Nvidia graphics drivers and below steps will show you how:

1. Search for and launch “Additional Drivers” utility from Unity Dash.

2. When it opens, you can see a list of recommended drivers for your graphics cards:

3. Install NVIDIA proprietary driver as it shows by launching terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command:

Replace nvidia-361, or just use nvidia-current instead and keep an eye on the installing process to make sure the installed driver is listed in above picture.

You may also install Intel proprietary driver, which is not required:

4. After installed graphics drivers, re-launch Additional Drivers utility and apply new installed drivers, so it looks like:

5. Finally switch graphics card by launching NVIDIA X Server Settings and select a GPU you want at PRIME Profiles tab.

To apply changes, log out and back in.
