f10 and Blender

[S. Chapelin]

I do Blender on a Toshiba satellite A100 VA7 system unit
model no: PSAANC-VA705C
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (I think. I found this info on the web)
on f10
When I use two back-ground images for 3d modeling, the display is lousy, doesn't adapt well, etc. A friend says it may be the graphics driver. What package would contain a good driver for my laptop?

Hey, S. Chapelin.

In a command shell, do:

/sbin/lsmod|grep -i intel

And find your card. Then do:

/sbin/modinfo -v {your_card_here_w/o_the_brackets}

[S. Chapelin]

Here is the result:

/sbin/lsmod|grep -i intel
snd_hda_intel 354196 1
snd_pcm 65924 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss
snd_page_alloc 11016 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
snd_hwdep 10628 1 snd_hda_intel
snd 50616 12 snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,sn d_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd _timer,snd_hwdep

seems to show only sound (snd)
I don't see a graphics card

That's odd. Try simply doing:

lsmod

I appologize for being so late in my reply. I was vacationning in a place without internet.
Here is my result for lsmod.
