Graphics Card Drivers
Posted: 18 Sep 2014, 17:26
I'm running Porteus on a 10yr old machine with 512MB RAM and a 1.6 Ghz processor. The MB has an on-board VIA Video chip, but it also has an AGP slot, so I dropped in an old Matrox Parhelia AGP video card I had laying around (also ~10 yrs old). I installed Porteus with the Matrox card installed. It works OK, but I cannot view any videos with it (i.e. YouTubes, etc.), so I'd like to try a different driver. (FYI, I was able to view videos with this card when installed on a Windows machine.)
1. How can I determine what driver is currently installed?
2. How can I change graphics drivers, or uninstall / install drivers?
3. Maybe my issue isn't the graphics card. Could I be missing a codec of something? That would be way over my head.
