I installed Ubuntu 14.04 in my laptop. I then installed steam and finally dota 2.
But the graphics are very bad.
I have AMD Radeon 7400 in my laptop. It seems like dota 2 is not running through my graphic card.
I don't even know whether after installing Ubuntu I have my graphic card driver installed or not. Do I have to manually install the graphic card driver or it is already installed? And if so, how to enable it so that dota 2 runs with some good textures.

Anyone knows how can I check/test my 2d acceleration? See if it's on/off and working correctly and as efficient as it should? I have SIS 771/671 on Zorin OS 8 Lite. I believe the resolution should be better (it's 1024x768 right now and it looks a bit stretched horizontaly I assume 1024x1800 could look fine) and I feel video could go more smoothly and also I see some horizontal lines on the screen when playing movies. So basically I think that the video driver is still not proper here. I found this instruction here at comment #230: sis drivers discussion I have a patch here : https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=xf86-video-sisimedia btw the patch is for 13.04 - will it also work or be needed for 13.10? Otherwise is there any other recommended lite distro on which SIS 771/671 could work fine and with acceleration ON?

Is there anyway to detect which driver is now handling the graphic card on my Ubuntu 18.04? I have NVIDIA Geforce 740M on my laptop.

During grub boot, I have to add nomodeset parameter, else Kali Linux 2020.2 won't be able to boot inside VirtualBox. Then, I was trying to install nvidia drivers on VM when found this article. > Do not attempt this in a VM. It is possible in theory, however this > likely will not work and we do not recommend that users attempt this. https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux/ I notice that vga detected in guest OS (Kali) is VMware SVGA II Adapter while the host OS is using NVIDIA Guest OS kali@kali:~$ lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter kali@kali:~$ Host OS wolf@linux:~$ lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 3e9b 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] (rev a1) wolf@linux:~$ If the driver not installed, I have to add nomodeset parameter every time during boot process. How do I fix this problem permanently?

I have choppy video and my windows are choppy when I move them around. Also when my PC turns off monitor it does not turn off normally but like the cable was unplugged. I guess I need to install a driver for my new 'graphics' chip. Can someone please provide the 'best' way of installing graphics drivers for my Celeron G1820 CPU. Here is what I get from lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) I can provide any additional info if needed.

After an update to last Oracle linux kernel, my second screen doesn't work anymore. My suspect are related to incompatible drivers and kernel or something similar; the second video output works fine if I use windows or with OL with previous kernel (so, it's a software issue). Running lspci the result on the 2 kernel versions are:

The controllers used for a couple of devices are different, so, probably the cause is this.
How can I fix it?

I have tested two video cards one by one in my Linux box in the first PCI-e x16 slot (next to the CPU). Old card: Asus Radeon EAH5570/DI/1GD3(LP) glmark2 score 1873 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2958 laci 20 0 588208 46288 29492 S 48.8 0.3 0:20.36 glmark2 Newer card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 710/PCIe/SSE2 glmark2 score 1888 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5863 laci 20 0 140784 61280 31448 R 100.0 0.4 1:33.96 glmark2 1248 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 45.8 0.0 7:33.00 irq/25+ GT710 has 3 times larger CPU load than EAH5570 beside about the same score of glmark2 benchmark. I would prefer to use the GT710 because it has a passive cooling and older has fairly loud fan. But I would like to know is there a better setting for GT710 card to smaller CPU load keeping about the same glmark2 benchmark score (1888) ? The environment is: Ubuntu 18.04 Mather board is GA-870A GIGABYTE with AMD FX(tm)-6300 (6 core) 3.5GHz with DDR3 RAM 16GByte. Apart from one video card, the PCI-e,PCI slots are empty.

I tried to install Nvidia driver on my Asus laptop GU603H powered by rtx 3060 max-q mobile graphic card. I couldn't update my driver via GUI so I tried to tty1 using following steps: 1- purging all Nvidia related packages 2- install driver via .run file At the final stage installation a message can be seen indicating successful process. However, I encounter this message after reboot: Also nvidia-smi command doesn't work, it shows message implies unsuccessful installation of drivers. I'm new to Linux because of that can't whats going wrong here. How can I fix the problem? Any help such as links will be appreciated

I have a laptop with GTX 1050 card and planning to buy in the near future PC with some external nvidia card as well. I want to install linux on both of them, but I never used linux with nvidia before and want to know what are compatibility issues I can face, because as far as I know nvidia and linux don't have a good relationship. Also, with the laptop that run on windows currently, I have the ability to use internal(CPU's) graphic card and GTX 1050 per application. So, when I'm not gaming I can use internal one, when I am gaming or need the 1050's power, I switch to it. Is this how it should work with linux as well?

I'd like to play games on my computer with free software only. The graphics card driver should hence be free software too. I currently have a Nvidea GeForce GTX graphics card and thought about getting a new graphics card after selling it but to date couldn't find a simple list of benchmarked/compared graphics card that are confirmed to work with FOSS drivers under GNU/Linux (asked about it) . The best free driver for Nvidea graphics cards seems to be Nouveau and the graphics card I have is listed here under Code name 'NVE4 (GK104)' which is under Family 'NVE0'. According to this feature matrix , family NVE0 should be relatively well supported. (This also means it doesn't make much sense trying to swap the graphics card if things are supposed to work with that one.) However, it has many glitches and the emulator games I tried didn't work better than just the onboard of mainboard 'B250 PC MATE' as I described in this question . Maybe I installed it the wrong way, needed a newer version of Debian², needed to use Wayland instead of X11³ or missed installing something else such as some Vulkan-related packages. -> **How to get smoothly running emulator games with free software only on Debian/KDE with a Nvidea GeForce GTX graphics card?** If there are problems using the graphics card specifically for emulators on GNU/Linux with Nouveau (as suggested in the other question), which emulators are supposed to be compatible?4 Do I need to install or configure any additional things to a) prevent these glitches and b) make use of the graphics capabilities for emulators? --- ² now running latest Debian 11 stable (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is v1:1.0.17-1 and KDE Plasma is v5.20.5) ³ I recently switched to Wayland despite the many bugs with it in Debian/KDE because beyond security-improvements it prevents screen tearing allowing me to properly watch videos 4 I tried the emulators Dolphin, PCSX2 and PCSX3 for Wii, PS2, PS3 and GameCube games within Lutris. Some of the games do work but have graphics-problems such as running only very slowly (including the audio).

I have an HP DL380G9 server with two discreet nvidia graphics card installed running RHEL 6 with Kernel 2.6.32-573. Both cards have the same chipset (NV117) but different models. K620 (Slot 5 address 88:00.0), K2200 (Slot 4 address 84:00.0). The K2200 is the selected card for Linux to output plymouth and boot messages. Swapping the cards results in the HP Server BIOS hitting a page fault, even after clearing CMOS and BIOS settings. Swapping the cards back fixes the issue. There is no option in the BIOS to select a primary discreet graphics card. Linux appears to select the graphics card with the lowest PCI Bus Address. Is there a kernel command line option or some other configuration file to select a different graphics card for the default pre-X11 display?

I installed Ubuntu Dekstop 20.04.1 LTS for x64 systems on a old HP Proliant ML110 G5. It works quite well since it recognizes the tape drive and the embedded SATA raid controller, but during the login screen the system is very very laggy; however after I logged in, the system works well and it is smooth. This is not a great issue, but it's very annoying and I would like to know to fix it.

I have a difficult thing to set up Xorg on my laptop nvidia optimus, * Allienware M11x R3 * Intel i7-4xxx * Nvidia gt 540M and intel driver * Ram 8 GB When i install Xorg on Freebsd and startx, it failed. I tried to create specific driver to enable just one driver because my laptop cant run both driver on Freebsd. I tried all driver Vesa, Sfcb, and Intel and Nvidia on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-vesa.conf, or intel-driver.conf or nvidia-driver.conf. But it cant load and get same error. I tried to figure out to run X -configure and tried startx, again it is still same. When i tun TrueOS it works when i run X -configure then startx And the error outputs on freebsd when I run startx without X -configure are [here](https://pastebin.com/P8APnSn5)

I've a computer which has some limited hardware. It's specs are these. AMD 64 Athlon 3000+. Nvidia FX 5700 256MB. 512MB RAM DDR x2 = 1024MB. I have installed on it FreeBSD 12.1 RELEASE-p6 GENERIC i386 with the LXDE Desktop. When the LXDE desktop wants to use a screensaver which has 3D images, the CPU starts using a lot of it's resources, like 100%, and even the 3D images goes like slow. This happens too if I move a Window in the Desktop. I think this is a hardware acceleration problem, and I would like some help to be able to fix this if it's possible. When I do a dmesg | grep agp, appears this. agp0: on hostb0. Doing a cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct Rendering" doesn't give me anything. I'm trying to use these old computers as servers for my own projects that I have. They are just machines with some Java code as back-end. I would like to use the GUI instead of CLI because it helps me work more faster. Using Windows XP leaves me with security holes and incompatible software, which doesn't help too much, even if the machine has the hardware requirements. At least what I would like to do is to not get the processor so high, when moving the windows and all that stuff. Maybe installing a reverse-engineering Linux driver of that graphics card could help ? Or Installing a Linux distribution ? I'm not an expert on servers, but I think that for example if I access into the Window Manager to make some changes in GUI mode, and the service is still running, isn't gonna get the service more slow because of the CPU using it's resources for the display while I'm doing the changes ? Isn't it more better to use the resources of the graphics card for the display of the Window manager or desktop ? Thank you for your possible help, at least I would like to not stress a lot the CPU when using the Window Manager or desktop. Cheers.

I have a HP 15-ec0042ax Pavilion Gaming Laptop with the following hardware: 1.AMD Ryzen 5-3550H 2.GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 3.GPU 1: AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics Windows 10 came pre-installed and works fine.I dual booted Debian 10 along with it.The installation was done smoothly.But I can't reach the login screen and it gets stuck on a black screen with the cursor blinking. I tried to switch off the Nvidia graphics using the following: nomodeset nouveau.noaccel=1 noapic noacpi nosplash irqpoll  noapic noacpi irqpoll  nouveau.modeset=0 nvidia-drm.modeset=1 None of these above codes were able to fix it.How do I get this up running? Thank you in advance. Edit: I re-installed a non-free version.There was no blank page this time.Instead the command line opened straight away.I went ahead and installed the "nvidia-driver" package using backports.It got installed without any issues.When I rebooted hoping for the GUI, the command line opened instead.So I tried to install the ''nvidia-driver" package again.As expected it said the "nvidia-driver" is the latest version and nothing had to be downloaded.When I run the "nvidia-detect" command, Nvidia GPU is detected and I'm told "Your card is supported by the default drivers.It is recommended to install the nvidia-driver". This OS works perfectly fine on the virtual machine.

I have "headless" machine with video card, I use very rarely, only if I want physical access to it. The cooler of this video card became old and started to produce bad noise. Can I disable this video card in such a way, that it: 1. will turn on again on reboot 2. a cooler stop to rotate I did: lspci | grep VGA sudo lspci -vs 01:00 To know it's module then I put: blacklist radeon into: /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf But, this didn't work. How to accomplish this?

I have installed Linux Mint 20 Ulyana, with secure boot enabled, on my Mi Horizon 14 notebook equipped with Geforce MX350. After the installation I have enabled nvidia-driver-440 using Driver Manager. However, when I issue sudo nvidia-setttings in terminal I get the following error message.

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system.
(nvidia-settings:1702): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 23:31:25.342: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** Message: 23:31:25.343: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort
** Message: 23:31:25.343: PRIME: is it supported? no

The output of nvidia-bug-report.sh can be found here if it helps to resolve this issue. Update 1: Attaching the output of sudo modprobe nvidia modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Operation not permitted

Trying to install Archlinux on my laptop, I get a black screen after I pick Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD and hitting Enter on the boot menu. I waited for about 10 minutes and the black screen persists. I also tried hitting e and appending nomodeset or nomodeset i915.modeset=0 to the boot line before hitting Enter, yet the black screen persists. Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 is the display adapter on my Lenovo Thinkpad T470 20HD laptop with UEFI boot mode. Windows is already installed on the laptop. I flashed the USB drive in Windows using Rufus with an image of archlinux with the GPT partition scheme and the DD option because the USB drive with the ISO image option did not get me to this boot menu at all. Any help would be much appreciated.
