suse graphics problem

[java]

hi,

 

I have installed suse 10 and as i am newbie dont know if I have to install graphics driver. As right now it is kind of blury and it is not the same as windows(sharp graphics)......I have the intel-via series cd for p4 pcs(but i am not sure which graphic card it is), i think it would be either nvidia or geforce is there a way to find out?

 

also when i want to play a suse's game it gives me errors anyone else has faced this kind of problem?

 

thank you

hi, :)

 

 

well since you think it's a geforce, i'll assume you know you have a geforce card in your box. so here's a guide ot installing teh nvidia proprietary drivers on suse.

[if i'm wrong, and you don't have an nvidia card]

what graphics card do you have, or is it onboard.

what exactly are these errors. (chances are they are related to the graphics drivers.)

i am not sure what my graphic card is :), when i say lspci -v i get this(i am not sure what is the card called):

the above line is ur graphics adapter.. u don't appear to have a graphics card plugged in.. so it'd be onboard..

 

it hasn't detected the device name or model.. that would be og great help..

but i will continue looking into it when i have some time

 

also.. the name / model of the motherboard would be of great help.. :)
