Great tutorial. Thanks. I have one question, when I run:
sudo lshw -c video
I get the following:

In some websites I see that other users report some driver in the configuration: line, but I don’t see anything like that in my output. Does that mean that I need to install some drivers?
I appreciate your help. I’m new using Ubuntu. My Toshiba laptop does not run in normal mode so I have to run Ubuntu Safe graphics mode. Thanks in advance
