Lenovo G50-70 video drivers on Mint 17.3 KDE
 
I am having difficulties setting up the video drivers on my Lenovo G50-70 running Mint 17.3 KDE. I've tried a lot of stuff. I've set th driver to the closed one, but still shows me only the Intel HD graphics. I am trying to run Minecraft and it says that I don't have OpenGL installed. I believe the AMD card is not detected at all and doesn't move a damn bit to help out the fellow Intel card.. What can I do to get at least OpenGL to work so I can play games (not just Minecraft)?

LeoZhekov,

Welcome to LQ.

Mesa/OpenGL drivers from:
https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archiv...aphics-drivers

NB Supported Ubuntu versions:
- 14.04 (trusty) <- only 14.04 and 14.04.1 are supported. 14.04.2 and later are not supported.

I am assuming that Mint 17.3 is based on 14.04 or 14.04.1 but I am not certain.

**Can somebody else confirm this please?

This link has more information:

Hi beachboy2...

You are correct. The package base is 14.04 and the kernel version is 3.19. :)

@LeoZhekov: I understand that you're having difficulties but please watch the language. ;)

Regards...

ardvark71,

Thanks.

I installed the mesa things in the first link, but still could not run it. It showed an error:
Quote:
The program 'java' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
(Details: serial 410 error_code 143 request_code 139 minor_code 7)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

@ardvark71

The "d" word in your fifth sentence.
