I was running 5.8 and the "install proprietary drivers function" worked and detected the card giving me the option to install the drivers.
I decided to try the new version but for some reason I am unable to install the proprietary drivers. It no longer detects them as available.
Any Ideas?
Hi!
Can you be more specific? What exactly do you have?
Is it this: Dell Vostro 1700 Core2 Duo T9300 2.5GHz, 2GB?
One possible reason for this, is that the new kernel, 5.15.x (LL 5.8 has 5.4.x kernel) might have included the driver for this video adapter. In this case, it should work without installing any other driver.
Did you have problems with the video after installing LL 6.0?
Best regards!
