So I just want to ask is there a driver supplied via intel for the chipset? or have I even installed the driver? Once the whole process is complete, despite the fact that it is a far longer process than when running in windows, my FPS is still far lower that when running natively in windows 7 config file to run the game using openGL rather than Direct3D -> And perform the tweaks to regedit, for the WoW application I then install and set-up Wine -> Change the. So I do a clean install of Ubuntu I then use the following command:Ĭode: glxinfo | grep renderingcommand again it then shows 'direct rendering: Yes'.

Now to my question - this machine has Intel's Mobile 4 Series Express Chipset Family built into the motherboard and I know that on a clean windows install with all the latest updates/drivers install I can play games like world of warcraft with some tweaking to the system here or there, at around 25-30 FPS (note: I don’t really play on this machine but I wanted to get a benchmark before I try to get it to work on Ubuntu). Now while there are no issues in getting all the software that I use for work to run on Ubuntu, before I install on my desktop which I use less for work and more for games I really wanted to make sure that I can get everything running on this laptop before making the conversion on my main machine.

Now I am playing around with what is best described as a standard £300 laptop, there is nothing special about it, however I really wanted to play around with the OS for a few days get a feel for it and try to see if I can get all of my applications running as smooth as possible. While I work in the software industry we provide Vehicle Tracking Software via SaaS I feel a little bit of warmth toward the open software movement and so Linux has to be my first port of call. Just to start this post I am completely new to Linux/Ubuntu I have decided that I would test this OS out, as after many years of being a heavy windows user with the release of the abomination that is Windows 8, I now feel forced to look for a replacement.
