How is your graphics card working in Gnome-Shell?

[edwardlthompson]

@2ndSicness So far I have had no issues with the video card. I am now running Linux Mint 12 as my primary Distro and it looks and works flawlessly.

[2ndSicness]

@edwardlthompson Hm. I've put a 8600 in my dad's computer and both Gnome-Shell and Unity is unusable.

[edwardlthompson]

@2ndSicness Did you download the restricted extras? Did you download the driver as well? There should have been a notification when you first installed but you can find it again in the control panel.

[edwardlthompson]

Same here. I started using Lubuntu shortly after making this video. Lubuntu is even faster and lighter!

It took ~20s to be workable.

[edwardlthompson]

@m203cb You are totally right. I glanced at the total recording time when I stated that it was less than 30 seconds.
