[SOLVED] Dell Optilex SX280 Graphics

[Wirezfree]

Hi bobw & sysdrum,

Early this year when I started with Linux, I also installed the Intel Linux Driver 1.0.3 (I think).
But when I first tried, I encountered an issue when I ran the installer "Distribution Not Supported"
I discovered at that time it was expecting vanilla Ubuntu. So unless they have changed it, I'm surprised it worked.?

The only way I could install at that time, from my notes:

Code:

gksu leafpad /etc/lsb-release

File looks like:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.0"

Change it to:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"

Then:
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg -O - | sudo apt-key add -
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg-2 -O - | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/14.04/main trusty main #Intel Graphics drivers" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intellinuxgraphics.list

Then:
Goto Synaptic Package Manager
find/add Intel Graphics Installer
Install it

Then Run the "Intel Graphics Installer"

Then undo the changes to the lsb-release file.

Even then, I wasn't sure how to confirm the actual Intel Drivers where in use.??

bobw, I never found the information you posted on doing the:

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Also,, sysdrum
The command you posted:

Code:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel

Are you saying that you do not need to use the Intel Graphics installer, you just that.??

Thanks... Dave
