Thread: 3d drivers on ubuntu mint

hello, dont know if i'm posting right section, have problems on linux ubuntu mint graphic drivers. laptop leonovo thingpad edge e320 - uses intel core , intel problem is, dont have 3d acceleration, , laptop freezes, when doing graphic-needed thing (playing video, flash in browser, opening blender....) please me? here info's:

code:

ls -1 /etc/x11/ | grep xorg

code:

xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf.failsafe xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original xorg.conf_sladdy_backup

you can see, im not using xorg file ! atleast, thing, works (no 3d @ all, freezes often, can use normal resolution)

tried nvidia-current package,than

code:

nvidia-xconf

no 3d @ all, still freezes, , xorg file was:

code:

# nvidia-xconfig: x configuration file generated nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig:  version 304.60  (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-04.nvidia.com)  sun oct 14 21:34:47 pdt 2012  section "serverlayout"     identifier     "layout0"     screen      0  "screen0"     inputdevice    "keyboard0" "corekeyboard"     inputdevice    "mouse0" "corepointer" endsection  section "files" endsection  section "inputdevice"     # generated default     identifier     "mouse0"     driver         "mouse"     option         "protocol" "auto"     option         "device" "/dev/psaux"     option         "emulate3buttons" "no"     option         "zaxismapping" "4 5" endsection  section "inputdevice"     # generated default     identifier     "keyboard0"     driver         "kbd" endsection  section "monitor"     identifier     "monitor0"     vendorname     "unknown"     modelname      "unknown"     horizsync       28.0 - 33.0     vertrefresh     43.0 - 72.0     option         "dpms" endsection  section "device"     identifier     "device0"     driver         "nvidia"     vendorname     "nvidia corporation" endsection section "screen"     identifier     "screen0"     device         "device0"     monitor        "monitor0"     defaultdepth    24     subsection     "display"         depth       24     endsubsection endsection

you can see, there no module , file sections, loads driver. when use tried install nvidia drivers official site, same results.

wow that's sweet maschine...

anyway have intel gpu in processor i3 (intel hd 3000).

model: "intel vga compatible controller"

drivers intel cards embedded in kernel. if have intel gpu why did install nvidia drivers? no wonder nothing works.

if maybe have version amd card (for example http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/...e/201106-8229/) need install amd drivers not nvidia.

anyway since drivers gpu part of kernel have 2 options:
1. upgrade kernel
2. install ppa newer drivers.

believe card have should supported kernel using. else maybe more. not have intel cards on mashcine. knwo notebooks intel cards , i3 chip come linux preloaded.

additionally perhaps mint issue , best addressed on forums. don't know if added "fixes" or pathes messes support chip.
