I implore thee and asketh for a parcel of your Wisdom O Great Forum Dwellers!
I know this can be a big question but it there a way to know what video card is officially supported by an Linux distro / Kernel ?
Not the driver list but the supported hardware list like :
Kernel 4.x.x supports these cards :
nVidia GeForce 8600 (or even by chipset, nvidia nv530, etc.)
nVidia GeForce 8800 ..
Intel GMA 4000...and so on.
I usually manage to get everything working by forcing drivers, etc. But sometimes some features like some OpenGL 3D commands are not supported.
Or maybe the other way around, Kernel 4.x.x needs OpenGL 2.0 support to work properly and blah blah.
Maybe there's a command line to "ask" a driver/program for which Kernel it was originally developped? Even better would be before installing it.
Kirk out!
