I am fortunate to have a NVIDIA Quadro K5000M with 4 GB dedicated GDDR5 video memory which is supported by SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 & Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x so I'm assuming I can get drivers that work with Qubes (Fedora). I did lspci and found that I am running VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104GLM (Quadro K5000M) Do I need to change this driver to get the KDE Cube working ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
