Thanks! I have a lenovo thinkpad w520 which comes with nvidia quadro card but I did not install any additional drivers. It is currently using the default ubuntu drivers. I did not see nvidia drivers for quadro board on the list of nvidia drivers anyway.

check if your GPU is properly installed, here is a way: install mesa utils $ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils and then run $ glxgears

Hi,

Most probably you have a graphic card with optimus drive which does not work properly under linux. You could try the bubmlebee project see if it works with that, if not I think you have to uninstall the nvidia drivers and just use the default ones from ubuntu. This meaning that the computer is going to use the onboard GPU not the dedicated one, which will be a lot slower.

Cheers, Andrei

Thanks, I was having a similar problem and your suggestion of trying the bumblebee project fixed it.
