I followed the advice of many people of trying to upgrade my kernel, but it didn't do anything to fix the issue. "Cinnamon is currently running without video hardware acceleration and, as a result, you may observe much higher than normal CPU usage." However the resolution and brightness were not changable, performance was even more abysmal, and I got a message like this: Tried fixing it by changing the nfg to "nomodeset", which gets me to the normal desktop. So here's what I recently tried without avail, if it is helpful to know:įollowing some advice I disabled Secure Boot, which gave me a black screen on boot instead. Xserver also shows far fewer options compared to other people's screenshots.
I have installed the latest drivers and activated them from the driver manager, but without any luck.
I think the Nvidia card used to handle the more high-end stuff back when I was still on WIndows 10, but now it seems to be inactive or broken somehow. I'm pretty sure the problem is that my computer has two graphics cards an Intel 530 and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M card. Basically my Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK runs Cinnamon 19.2 very nicely, but games that used to run smoothly are virtually unplayable because of poor performance and FPS. I've been trying to fix my graphics for a long time now, but with rather limited success since I'm new to Linux.
