</div></div>Most likely this is a relatively new piece of hardware, so you would<br>
select the "and Newer" category.</blockquote><div><br>You were correct. I didn't realize how old the 6 series was. <br><br>Ironically, with the proprietary driver Fedora doesn't see my second monitor, and while videos play beautifully smoothly, people in them all look very blue! Only in videos ... I don't see any other color issues. Anyway, consider this one solved.<br>
