Linux Mint 17.1, Native screen+VGA+HDMI

Wed Oct 19 19:29:21 UTC 2016

OK ...

I am on a Lenovo z570, i5-2410M dual core, 64bit, 2.3 GHz, 6 GB DDR3
RAM (4 GB  + 2GB),

Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 09)

All queries done, are giving Intel Integrated Graphics and this is
what I forgot.....

My laptop mother board was changed year back, sometime. Either the
NVIDIA GPU was removed / changed / or is not compatible with this,
new, mother board.

I did not have to re-install my OS, after change, my OS just works
with the new motherboard. As per them it was exact replacement.
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246156)

and THANKS TO YOU, I KNOW it now!!! .. will find out with the people
who changed the motherboard.

If possible, can it be put back ? ( ... after a year or more; also,
highly unlikely )

So am I right is assuming that it does not have a NVIDIA GPU as per
the original specs?

Thanks

Nitin
