1004 Video Hardware Compatibility List

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. 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.

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}"
