Help installing Arch.

Post by LPIII »

The installation for Arch Linux asks to choose graphics drivers. I have an AMD system with AMD graphics but should I choose a virtual box drivers instead:

The VM does not see the host's video card, only the Virtualbox card. So you'd have to use either Virtualbox-compatible or all-open-source.

When you get the OS installed, Virtualbox Guest Additions provide drivers to enhance the OS's connection to the virtual video card. See https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ions-linux and prerequisites https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq
