I thought Dale reported that he installed Kubuntu on an SSD - or did we just talk about that idea - and he said all the port problems were ironed out with the open source driver. What he didn't report was if he installed the nvidia-drivers in Kubuntu. I personally wouldn't write off the 'old monitor' until doing at least that. sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade ubuntu-drivers list (make sure the video-card is found) sudo apt install nvidia-drivers-550 (assuming he has a Quadro P1000 from memory) reboot Shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to try. No real risk as he's going to blow away the Kubuntu install anyway. --00000000000036026c061c0f9d33 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
