Problem loading graphics driver on Mint 4.0
Hello all.
I just performed a fresh install of Linux Mint 4.0, and just about everything works fine, but my video driver won't load. I know that the correct driver for my video card is the i810 driver, but when I attempt to load it, it won't work. I'm pretty sure I've used this driver before (with other distros), and I've used Compiz successfully which means I obviously have had my graphics driver working properly before. Can anybody give me any advice? Thanks. -Pan |
Try installing the following code
sudo aptitude purge envy sudo rm Â*rf /usr/share/envy Edit//ignore this line-really stupid typo sudo aptÂ*get clean sudo apt-Â*get clean wget http://www.linuxmint.com/upload/envy...untu11_all.deb sudo dpkg Â*i envy_0.9.7Â*0ubuntu11_all.deb rm envy_0.9.7Â*0ubuntu11_all.deb Then uninstall and install the driver again with envy Actually someone in another linux forum had a similar problem....read here |
I was actually able to fix it. Someone at Ubuntu's IRC channel helped me out. All I had to do was edit my xorg.conf file and change the driver under Section "Device" from "vesa" to "intel." Once I restarted X, it worked perfectly.
