Sorry I'm looking at that darn office spec again. You are on Intel here.
Umm/
Me uses Intel but I know some have real issues.
Mine is brilliant - sorry. It just is.

This is how mine shows in spec:

Vendor: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
Model: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20080716 x86/MMX/SSE2
Driver: 1.4 Mesa 7.2

Is it possible to download the correct driver? Just wondering. I need to virtual windows have a VPN access. I have a ton of policies that i use in my vpn client and don't want to manually keep changing the dial up settings.

[caf4926]

Open a terminal go su and do:

lspci -v

In the output, post the graphics info, it's probably at the start of the output.
I need this really from a normal boot.

[sabbyman]

I will do that when I get to the office. Just wondering. Most of the time, its you that is answering. lol

Not just me, more likely that experienced users will leave me to it, unless it seems help is needed. Saves clutter in the thread.

That was some mouthful. Hopefully its all there

[caf4926]

Your graphics chip is different to mine, but is using the same kernel modules:

You will not do much better than this.
In kde my info shows like this:

Vendor: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
Model: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20080716 x86/MMX/SSE2
Driver: 1.4 Mesa 7.2

It's possible to update Mesa - but I'm not sure I would. Have a read here:
Mesa Home Page

[sabbyman]

Thanks, I'll leave it as it and just use fail safe

[caf4926]

Have a read here: Graphics - Availability of Intel® Graphics drivers for Linux*

As I read following the link thru in various directions, you might get better performance using an earlier kernel, or has it always been poor?

Just a thought

[sabbyman]

haven't upgraded the kernel yet. So yea, always poor.
