and thank you in advance. I have downloaded xserver-xorg-video-s3virge_ 1.10.4 orig.tar.gz, and extracted contents, which gives me xf86-video-s3virge-1.10.4. (Both files are sitting in my downloads folder). When I run sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-s3virge, I get the following message E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-video-s3virge.

  • Where do I put xserver-xorg-video-s3virge_1.10.4.orig.tar.gz so sudo apt-get install can find it?
  • Is there a program I need to enable Ubuntu to find and install this driver?

apt-get doesn't work with tar.gz files, it downloads directly from so-called repositories from the internet.

To install, run apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-s3virge, the package is available in 10.04 and 12.04.
