I tried to install the nvidia drivers, but could not find the proper driver. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 3920 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 45 Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at 5050 [size=8] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 When I looked at Lenovo's support site, their documentation claimed the display was nvidia 6800GT. After some further reading, I'm beginning to suspect the display or video card drivers, too. I'm not certain what my next step should be, but I plan to persue the nvidia driver upgrade first (since that is likely to be the easiest). I'd be happy to get your insight on which I should try to upgrade? Are they even the same thing? -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * * NOTE MY NEW NUMBER: 702-537-0979 * ********************************************************************
