do i need intel graphics driver and nvidia graphics driver

If on 12.04.3, replace linux-headers-generic with linux-headers-generic-lts-raringĮnable the Universe and Multiverse repositories - you need to do this to allow the bumblebee and nvidia packages respectively to be installed.

You need to open your terminal and enter the commands below. This should cover any Bumblebee / optiumus questions you have, but for more information you can see the wiki Remove the driver you installed like this, a diffrent one will be installed later sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current You have a hybrid GPU (nvidia and intel) you can use bumbblebee to tak advantage of this, by default it uses the intel but the usage section will show you how to use the Nvidia Important first step So my question is why do I have two drivers? and how can I use the nVidia one? The output was: Kernel driver in use: i915 So I am a little confused because as long as I know I don't have an intel device, and then in order to know which driver the system is using I ran the command: lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' Product: GF117M Ĭapabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list rom Product: Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics ControllerĬapabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom

Now when I type the command: sudo lshw -c video I get the following output: *-display After some time of searching and struggling I installed it using the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates One of the problem I faced is finding the driver for my nVidia GeForce 820M. I have bought a new laptop recently it is the Asus K555LD and I have ubuntu 14.04 installed and up to date.
