Thank you for that.
I have just ran it on this (Dell Inspire) desktop system running
Debian 6, to check it, and got
"
:~$ grep -B2 'Module class: X.Org Video Driver' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 0.0.15
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
--
(II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 2.1.17
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
--
(II) Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 2.3.0
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
"
and this system shows
"
:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce
310] (rev a2)
"
so I intend to run those two commands in each of the Ubuntu and Debian
installations on the Acer V3-772G system, tomorrow.
