I tried to install the nvidia drivers, but could not find the proper
driver.
nVidia drivers do not work with Intel video systems
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
This is definitely a Intel video.
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?
If this is supposed to be an nVidia, take it back. You were sold the
wrong machine. At least ask why the nVidia card was swapped out for an
Intel card. Most of them will not properly support Wine.
