Ubuntu – Intel GMA3150 on Samsung N150

intel graphicssamsung

I'm new and proud owner of ubuntu on my Samsung N150. Everything seems to work fine, even the brightness which was an small issue in compare to Intel Media Graphics Accelerator (GMA 3150). I've read many tutorials through last days, but as I'm a complete beginner in Ubuntu system, I can't get to work it out.

In my system preferences the graphics card is unknown. I've installed some small .deb (intel-gpu-tools_1.0.2+git20100830+c935c60-0ubuntu0sarvatt_i386.deb). But it's not working for me.

Please, anyone help me! And thanks for your struggle to help me with this small problem.

Chances are that your drivers are actually working perfectly well. The Graphics listing in System Info is wrong by default in Ubuntu 11.10. It is based on the output of the glxinfo command, which we don't install by default.

It's highly likely that installing the mesa-demos package will correct the output of System Info. This won't change your graphics performance or driver - it's highly likely that you're already using the correct drivers - it will just fix the reporting of your driver.
