Then click on “Browse my computer for driver software”.Right-click that and select “Update Driver Software…”.In Device Manager (Windows Key + C –> Settings –> Control Panel –> Device Manager)Ĭlick on the arrow next to Monitors to expand it (my guess is you have “PnP-Monitor (Standard)” showing).Many of the suggestions have to do with the display driver, and while that worked for some people, I had tried every method that was different from the rest – until I found this one: I found this after many hours of searching. On both laptops the manufacturer’s display brightness keys wouldn’t work, the brightness control in the Charms bar wouldn’t work and I didn’t even have the brightness controls available in the Power Options plan settings. That being said, if you really need the latest drivers, you could try using the oibaf drivers ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-driversĪfter the upgrade completes, running glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" again should output the following: OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 20.0.0-devel (git-3e21e17 bionic-oibaf-ppa)ĮDIT: if, during the update process, you encounter some ppa errors, you might need to do some cleanup first (maybe you added some obsolete repository?).I had the same problem on two laptops from different manufacturers (Lenovo and Toshiba), but both running Win8.1. If, like me, you encountered some issues running some games using the intel graphics adapter, you might benefit from installing the Mesa Vulkan packages: sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers vulkan-utils vulkan-tools Running the command glxinfo | grep "OpenGL should output something like this: OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 19.0.8 You should also know that elementary OS 5.0 already includes the appropriate MESA Intel drivers. With this in mind, you might notice that the repository, described in your screenshot, does not contain anything usable above Ubuntu 17.10. Whenever dealing with drivers, you first need to remember that elementary os 5.0 is based on Ubuntu 18.04.
