Answer» Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu a few days ago. I thought it was time to try Linux again.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I'm apparently using the generic drivers, and have no idea where to find the specific drivers or how to INSTALL them. Here is a link to the craptop, err laptop's specifications.
Any ideas?Are you having any problems with the generic drivers? Which drivers do you NEED?I'm actually not experiencing any problems, but I do prefer to have the actual hardware specific drivers.
I just have no idea where to find them or how to install them. I haven't run Linux since Mandrake 7.2(many years ago).Well, it's a lot like windows. You go the the hardware manufacturer's website. For example, You have a Intel Extreme Graphics 2 GPU so you would go here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&ProductLine=Desktop+grap
The fujitsu site only has XP drivers listed for your machine. You will have to find drivers from the specific component manufacturers websites. As far as I know there is no program for linux like everest, that will tell you the details of your hardware.
The best advice that i can give here is: If it aint broke don't fix it. You can cause yourself a lot of HEADACHE monkeying AROUND. Unless you have a specific reason to install a driver just leave it alone. Cool, I just thought there might be one site with a suite of drivers for my craptop.
I do tinker, and I am well aware of the grief it can cause, that's why I'm testing Linux again. Many of my friends are asking, and I can't give them an EDUCATED answer unless I screw around with it.
This is by no means my only computer and I really don't care if the software gets messed up. Format and reinstall is easy.
