Linux Mint 18 works perfectly on live USB, but display and wireless drivers broken after installation

Running Linux Mint 18 from a Live USB on my laptop works great. Display is buttery smooth and wifi works without issue.



But once I install it, I get a notification about Cinnamon running without video hardware acceleration, and scrolling is choppy. Plus there's no option in my network manager for wireless.



I'm assuming this is an issue with drivers (why they don't automatically work after installation like they do on the Live USB, I wish I knew).



Opening the driver manager only shows this:
enter image description here



I am installing this over the top of an existing Linux Mint 17.3 installation, but wifi and the display driver worked fine on that before. I'm really hoping there's some way to fix these issues without needing to format the partition and do a clean install, so any other suggestions would be appreciated.



Edit:
I ended up completely formatting my drive (after making a backup of course!) before installing, and now it works perfectly. I guess there must have been something leftover from the previous version that was throwing a wrench in things.



I still wish I knew what the cause of the issue was, though, because I had encountered that issue with the video driver anytime I tried to disable the proprietary driver.

  • When you login then there is settings button than choose the option without Software Rendering.

  • @ArpitAgarwal indeed, I have 2 options: Cinnamon (Default) and Cinnamon (Software Rendering). I am using Cinnamon (Default).

  • When installation begins, it asks for installing proprietory drivers. Reinstall it again with that option enabled.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
