Just18 - I can't find an option to reapply the graphics card driver withing PCLOS control centre. Am I looking in the correct place?

I don't know where you are looking  :D


PCC - Hardware - Config Graphics card - click on it ........  then make your selection of the correct graphics driver for you card and go through the process ......  if there is a new driver for your card it will notify you about a 'proprietary' driver being available .....  accept and finish with a reboot to have it applied ....

 :-[ Thanks Just18.

Sometimes one can't see the wood for the trees. All seems to be up and working fine now.

Thank you everyone for your help....

YW  ;)

Glad all is good now, with the possibility of getting improvement in the future when you can also use the other graphics.

djohnston - the link to the package request seems broken - want to add my +1... Hope it can be added as seems a shame to have some hardware that I can't use in Linux...

My apologies. The package request I linked to has been merged into an earlier request. You can add your voice here by voting with a +1.

Beat you to it  ;D

I am no packager, but doesn't look like it will necessarily be all that easy looking at Archies comment  :'(
