I'm trying to figure out, what is the proprietary driver for my laptops video chip?/card?,, I have an acer aspire 5336-2524. Using; ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64, off a USB until it can be determined that the video can be fixed.
I have the blank screen issue which has a work around but has to be worked around each time I start up, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2167962
I was advised that in order to find a more permanent solution that I need to get the proprietary driver for my video hardware.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lshw -C video
