LM 14 KDE graphic drivers installed, but do nothing.
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2013 4:05 pm
So I have LM 14 KDE and I am having issues with my graphic card drivers. I think I finally managed to get them installed, but they don't do anything. I tried to open Steam and the task on the bottom panel and then disappear. Upon further reading, I determined because the drivers were having issues. Then I tried to install and run f.lux and redshift (programs that change the gamma of the screen so it's easier on your eyes) and it was the same thing. It would hover and then just disappear. I included some screenshots to show you what I am talking about being installed and not working....
I really want to get this issue squared away once and for all. Yes, I have done TONS of reading. Too much to the point where I can't even remember what I have read.
Thanks people!
EDIT: I ran "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and this is what returned:
so I went to that folder and I have this:
I then ran "lspci -nn | grep -i vga" and got:
Then "sudo lshw -C display" and got:
Not sure if this helps. BTW, I am using an Nvidia Geforce 540m.
