What to do if Linux does not see a discrete video card on a laptop?

Question

linux

Hello!
I ran into a problem with the availability of drivers on linux ...
The bottom line is this: The
Asus k53 laptop ,
two windows vidyashki
works without problems ...
But when I run linux mint through virtualbox, my mood drops ... For it is displayed with a resolution of 640x480 ...
What I did:
1) tried to turn on other possible drivers ... but nothing switches ...
2) I tried through the console, and then I saw that the system does not understand any of the video ...

[email protected] ~ $ ubuntu-drivers devices

And maybe it's not only linux, but there is another problem, virtualbox itself in the video memory settings is no more than 128mb... although the GeForce 610M Memory size is 2048...
How to install the correct drivers and allocate a normal amount of memory?

Answer 1

you don’t have a physical video in vbox, but a virtual one, you need drivers from the VirtualBox Guest Additions set

Answer 2

Virtualbox can only provide an emulated graphics card. In order for the video to work more or less, you need to install guest additions. In your case virtualbox-dkms

Answer 3

Tell me, do I understand correctly, if I install VirtualBox Guest Additions or virtualbox-dkms in my windows, then linux will understand and install the necessary drivers?
