Hello all… Just read this info. Hope it helps.

The fifth maintenance release of the Linux kernel 3.12 is available now. Linux Kernel 3.12.5 contains various updated drivers (networking, SCSI, USB, Xen), a couple of sound updates, and several ARM improvements. See the changelog for details.

All users of the 3.12 kernel series are urged to upgrade as soon as possible. Here’s how to do it in Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Linux Mint and their derivatives.

My Graphics Card is a Intel 4 series integrated one. The following is the output of command “sudo lshw -class display”. I still have “dirty spot” randomly after upgrading to kernel 3.12.4. Do you know which driver is suitable?
Thanks.

I got an AMD HD7770 video card and when I install Catalyst or use integrated FGLRX driver, the Mint Menu and Keyboard Layout Flag icons are gone. If I use recommended driver then it is ok, but then I don’t have 3D acceleration. If I turn of flag icon, then I have EN icon instead. The theme is the default one.
Also Totem player does not have controls in fullscreen and behaves strange.
I didn’t had these problems with Intel HD video card in G3220 CPU.
Any ideas what could I try?

32 bit compatibility issues RE Steam and Counter-Strike Source

Installed proprietary nVidia via direct download from their site, not the xorg-edgers. Launching CSS raises the following error and fails to launch the game:
“Could not find required OpenGL entry point ‘glGetError’! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.”

Previously, errors similar to this were due to 32 bit driver symlink problems caused by seemingly sloppy nVidia driver install/uninstall from xorg-edgers PPA. Howeer, as of Mint 16 I no longer seem to have a /usr/lib32/ at all, and it is not clear where Steam is or should be looking for the drivers. Things aren’t working smoothly, that much is clear. This might be related to the problems with netflix-desktop and ia32-libs/multiarch, but I don’t really know the technical details.

I suspect this is more of a ubuntu 13.10 issue than a mint 16 issue, but I’m too inept to say for sure…and to be honest, from the perspective of a user, it doesn’t matter who “owns” the issue.

Downloaded and installed on Dell 24″ All-In-One Inspirion 9010 with i7-3770s and using its built-in Intel video graphics. There is a problem with display– about 2 inches from left side of monitor is clear, and beyond is wobbly. Looks like interlacing is out of sync. I did upgrade to the most latest linux generic kernel. If using recovery mode (no hardware acceleration), the display is fine.

do do?

thanks in advance
