GPU Compatibility List
The purpose behind this page is to give a compatibility probability list, and to confirm these when possible.
I will break down manufacturers, then subsets. Audio, for the terms of this list, refers to digital audio from the card, typically HDMI audio. For further understanding of how audio currently works, please see the new audio scheme for possible resolution of audio issues without installing things you do not need. If your cards audio device shows up when typing "sudo aplay -l" (without quotes) then nothing more is required to install, only a configuration change is necessary, as detailed in the link.
nVidia
| Series | Model | Video OOTB | Audio OOTB | Resolution |
| GT | 4xx | Yes | No | Upgrade Kernel to Natty Change line 225 of SetupAudioVideo.sh CardDevice from 7 to 9 |
| GTX | 5xx | No | No | Upgrade Kernel to Natty Update ALSA |
| GT | 6xx | Yes | No | Upgrade Kernel to Natty Update ALSA |
Intel
| Series | Model | Video OOTB | Audio OOTB | Resolution |
| Sandy Bridge | All | Yes | Yes | This should be working, out of the box. If something went wrong, then do the following: Upgrade Kernel to Natty |
| Ivy Bridge | All | No | No | Upgrade Kernel to Natty Update ALSA |
Solutions
All solutions here can be copied/pasted, but assume you are root. Please begin sessions by typing "sudo -i" without quotes and enter your pass when prompted. It is recommended that you reboot after any of these solutions. /usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard.sh is probably best for testing after applying solutions.
Add Intel Advanced Support
apt-add-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver # For additional performance issues, the following may help # apt-add-repository ppa:f-hackenberger/x220-intel-mesa apt-get update
Add nVidia Current Driver Support
With the 304+ nvidia driver we recommend pulling down alsa .25 at the same time as prescribed here.
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates apt-get update apt-get install -y nvidia-current
Add ALSA Backport .24 Support
apt-get install -yf linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(uname -r)
Add ALSA .25 Support
add-apt-repository ppa:team-iquik/alsa apt-get update apt-get install -y alsa-base apt-get install -y alsa-utils
Upgrade Kernel to Natty
CurKernel="-generic"
if uname -r | grep "pae"; then CurKernel="-generic-pae"; fi
NewKernel="linux-image${CurKernel}-lts-backport-natty"
NewHeaders="linux-headers${CurKernel}-lts-backport-natty"
apt-get -yf install "$NewKernel"
apt-get -yf install "$NewHeaders"
apt-get update
apt-get -yf dist-upgrade
Upgrade Kernel to latest Oneiric
CurKernel="-generic"
if uname -r | grep "pae"; then CurKernel="-generic-pae"; fi
NewKernel="linux-image-3.0.0-26${CurKernel}"
NewHeaders="linux-headers-3.0.0-26${CurKernel}"
apt-get -yf install "$NewKernel"
apt-get -yf install "$NewHeaders"
apt-get update
apt-get -yf dist-upgrade
