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.

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.

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:team-iquik/alsa
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
apt-get update
apt-get install -y alsa-base
apt-get install -y alsa-utils
apt-get install -y nvidia-current

Add ALSA Backport .24 Support

apt-get install -yf linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(uname -r)

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
/usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard

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
/usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard
