Display Drivers Integrated Graphics problems

[KoEDeath]

ok, so ive been looking for a while for some form of Display Drivers for my integrated graphics, i have a mobile GM965/GL960 if some one could tell me were to obtain drivers for this it would be greatly appreciated.
sorry if this is in the wrong section i wasn't to sure which to put it in.


Thank you in advance. and for taking the time to assist me (a first time ubuntu user)

They are part of the kernel

The driver will probably be : i915

With Linux, most of the drivers are included, so that you don't have to look for them. In some cases, a printer or scanner driver may need to be downloaded for the vendor's website. Some wireless cards may also require looking around for drivers. Intel has all its chipsets drivers built into the kernel, with only the Poulsbo one being an exception.

These are my results, i assumed i didn't have any drivers because my performance on graphical interfaces is rather slow :/ TYVM for your responses. it is indeed I915 So that means i already have drivers installed, sry im new to ubuntu >.<.

Some intel chips are better than others

Yours should be OK. I have it on a R61
Works well

Ok tyvm for the help! :D i was also wondering, is it possible for me to get a virus with ubuntu ive heardmultiple answers of yeses and nos

No

You could become a carrier of one that could infect windows though. But that could apply to anyone.

Virus' that affect windows are no risk in Linux. I mean they will not deploy/run.

Actually, despite what others will tell you, the actual answer is YES -- it's possible. But the design of the Linux kernel, the limitations of the Linux filesystems, and the relatively low presence of Linux distros in the world PC space all combine to make it very unlikely that you WILL get a virus.

But, it actually IS possible.

[carl4926]

Technically you more at risk from a rootkit.

Even if you managed to find a Virus and it were deployed, it'll not get far, because you'll not be running as root.
