Hi Tijatjj,

Which graphics card is installed in your X5000? Which Linux distribution do you want to install?

Cheers,

Please note: You don't have hardware 3D acceleration with your graphics card on Ubuntu. That means, Ubuntu isn't as fast as with a compatible graphics card (Radeon HD6xxx and below).

Hi Tijatjj,

I am sorry, I don't understand your question. Could you please write your question with another sentence again?

Thanks,

Unfortunately not. You need a Radeon HD6xxx or below.
