| leeb | perhaps more of a general question, but is there a way to figure out EXACTLY what graphics driver I should be using for an old NVidia GTX440? | 01:19 |

| Guest86745 | hello | 02:22 |
| holstein | leeb: well, ideally, nvidia themselves would let you know that | 03:02 |
| holstein | since they may not, i usually go through a process of trying them all | 03:02 |
| leeb | yeah, well, there are like 5 different versions | 03:22 |
| holstein | yup... likely the open one in use on the live iso | 03:22 |
| holstein | leeb: that one is not working for you? have you tried it? why are you moving on from it? | 03:23 |
| holstein | what others have you tried? what are they like? | 03:23 |
| holstein | usually, i spend the first install with "new" hardware, (new to me) that is not officially promised linux support, by testing the proprietary graphics drivers, if i find the open ones dont do what i need | 03:24 |
| holstein | sometimes, i need the drivers for dual head, or 3d.. or the machine just may run cooler/quieter | 03:24 |
