It is not showing any additional drivers, though I could not find a way of forcing it to go and check, additional drivers is now a tab in s/w sources, and not accessible directly from Dash.
Probably this is not the place to discuss this but it is a pity if Ubuntu is not to satisfactorily run on hardware more than a few years old. It has always previously been the case that if h/w would run XP then it would run Ubuntu better. It is not a big issue for me, the machine is just for testing purposes not for production use, but I understood that a lot of machines running Ubuntu are re-furbished machines, particularly in the developing world, and if the latest Ubuntu will not run then this may be a bit of a public relations disaster. Presumably one could advise that Lubuntu is used instead, but still it gives a poor impression if the standard version is not usable.
