Hi guys,
I installed 11.10 on a Compaq CQ50 earlyer and It all went fine except for the graphics. It has a Nvidia Geforce 8200m G graphics card.
I clicked on the additional drivers thing in settings and clicked activate on the recommended driver. It downloaded and installed fine, I restarted and it still says "Graphics = Unknown" in computer info. I can also tell as Unity is a bit slow.
I tried this with several versions offered in the additional drivers thing. I also installed the latest one via terminal by following some instructions in a forum, yet no luck. Still says graphics unknown and unity is laggy.
I really want to be happy with linux/ubuntu, yet issues like these are the reasons I will always appreciate Windows 7.
If anyone could help I would be very greatful!
