remove Nvidia Drivers
I just moved a SSD from a machine with an Nvidia Quadro FX 1800 video card to one with onboard Intel graphics. It mostly works all right, but not quite. Is there a way to reset the graphics driver?

I don't think there is a way to "reset the graphics driver".
What doesn't work? Are the relevant intel graphics driver packages installed? The output of the following command may help people understand your situtaion. Code:
inxi -G Code:
sudo apt-get install xini |
The correct answer was
sudo apt-get purge nvidia* and log out and back in. |

Further, removing unused nvidia packages should have no impact on the system other than freeing up a very small amount of disk space. |
As it was my question, I should know whether the answer was correct. And you are incorrect -- removing Nvidia drivers does do more than free up some space. The system looks to load a driver, sees that driver it wants to load is not available, and looks to correct the situation. It then finds an Intel video system and says, oh, I know what to do with that, and does it.

That in itself is unforgiveable for someone who's been here for so long. evo2 then tried to guess what your real problem is (something I have stopped doing a long time ago), you then scolded them for getting it wrong. Good luck finding help in the future. :smh: |
"Good luck finding help in the future."
How many times have we heard, "The best thing about Linux is the community."? I'm sorry I did not phrase the question correctly for you. I did the best I could. I found my answer. I reported that I had found my answer. I have been chewed out now by two different people for asking the wrong question and not liking the answer. I had an Nvidia driver loaded. I needed to unload that driver and have the system detect the Intel video my system had. I asked the question the best way I could figure how to ask it. The answer I found with help from people IN OTHER COMMUNITIES gave me what I needed, and I reported back here to let you know the topic was closed and what the answer I found was. Nice community response. Slam the questioner, tell them they asked the wrong question, and leave a snide comment about them not being able to find help here in the future. |
