Hello, a newbie here,
I have installed linux mint 15 cinammon on an relatively old Acer aspire 5920.
I have installed and tried all the possible drivers the OS gives me but none works. It simply tells me "cinnamon just crashed. Your are currently running in Fallback mode".
Give me a list of commands to type so you can see the info and help me.
THanks

Re: A easy Graphics problem for you pros
It looks like it forceabily unloaded the Nvidia video drivers -- not good.
Not an Nvidia user, so this advice may not work, but I had serious video problems with my AMD chipset when I tried to install Mint 15 and solved them by going into the boot parms and adding "xforcevesa". I also tried "nomodeset" and while that worked, it forced a low res on me and would not properly recognize the displays.
Good Luck

Re: A easy Graphics problem for you pros
I still have this problem, I have not tried the solution you have proposed me because I do not want to lessen the quality or the performance. Could please some suggest another solution ?
Thank you very much

Re: A easy Graphics problem for you pros
And moreover, If I finally decide to add nomodeset and xforcevesa where do I exactly write them in this screen ?
EDIT: I added the commands but they appear to do nothing.
