Okay so before anybody marks this as a possible duplicate or something along those lines let me say what ive worked on; I have used Bumblebee,Manually installed the drivers myself,tried a bunch of old drivers and new ones in hopes of something happening,re-installed drivers and bumblebee and done a re-installation of the OS and nothing…
Im dualbooting Ubuntu 13.04 next to Windows 7 (both are 64-bit) and the problem is that i cant seem to get my GPU running and i found that Ubuntu cant acces the gpu for some reason (this showed up while working with bumblebee in a terminal)…i have Intel HD Graphics (built in) and an Nvidia Geforce 310m (512mb)
These are my specs;
CPU; Intel Core i5
Ram; 4Gb (3.7 to be exact)
HDD; 500gb (divided equaly in half for both Operating Systems)
GPU; Nvidia Geforce 310m 512mb (as mentioned)
Computer/Laptop; Toshiba Satellite E205
🙂 Help is apretiated
