interesting.. i didnt see any drivers listed in the updates.. good to know.a related issue; all the graphics card issues are to be able to run Second Life. i have extracted the program files and the instructions are to run the " firestorm" script. i have used the firestorm viewer on other machine but on this installation i have no ":run" , or "execute" options to start the viewer.
  i appreciate the help, thanks.. btw.. the smearing actually seems because the monitor doesnt like the VGA input. with DVI input its all good..

The HD4850 driver already has 3D acceleration support in LL 3.0, nothing to do. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man4/radeon.4.html

sorry for the confusion. i was wrong initially on the card.. i have 2 ati hd4850's  and in VGA with no acceleration, of course, there is NO smearing. the gf7650gt does smear and in a live cd , mint/ lite, smears as well, so i call it a card issue on the larger monitor, thats why i would like to find drivers to use the ati card. thanks,,

So is the card that you see the smears with, a gtx960 as stated in your first post or a GF7950gt as stated in your 2nd? And now there's a ATI card in the mix. I'm a little confused. Moved to Hardware > Video Cards.

tested. not software, its the GF7950gt  i will ask: does ANYONE have ati legaCy drivers for HD4850 card? i refuse to throw away a good card because AMD doesnt see fit to, at the very least, supply a stable driver. this computer is a backup, so i'm not investing more $. thanks..

Something to quickly check...

Click Menu, type App and select "Appearance" from the list

Click on the "Fonts" tab, check if Rendering "Enable Anti-Aliasing" is ticked[X], Hinting is "Medium" and Sub-Pixel order is "RGB"
