<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Steven,<br></div>If your homework does not require using that specific video card (I don't know what classes you have), a simple solution would be to run Ubuntu in a virtual machine on Windows instead of dual booting. VMware player is free and would provide you with a generic virtual graphics card for the Ubuntu guest machine. Loading Ubuntu onto a VM can be as simple as pointing the VMware player at a downloaded .ISO file. The beauty of this type of solution is that you can run Windows and Linux simultaneously -- no need to reboot when switching between the two. If you install VMware tools (also free) then you can cut and paste between the guest and host machines and that can come in handy when doing homework as well.<br>

I just subscribed to this mailing list, but I have an interesting question. On my desktop, i'm attempting to dual-boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04. My biggest issue is that my graphics card is a Geforce GTX 760 graphics card. When I look in the section for additional drivers, it says that there are three Nvidia drivers, but none of them are active, and for me to use Ubuntu, I have to pull my computer out from under my desk, move my HDMI cable from the back of my graphics card to my motherboard's HDMI port. I'm really wanting to be able to leave my inputs the way they are without having to continually do that when attempting to do my homework for classes. Any ideas?</div>
