Update! You mentioned the i915 driver which spurred me to do additional research. When I ran the command "dmesg|grep i915 -A4, it noted that it was not supported in this kernel (5.13.0.22), but I could force the driver to load, so I added the force.probe to /etc/default/grub as follows: GRUB_CM...

I expected to reboot and boot into IDG mode, but things did not work as expected. Not sure if subsequent configuration changes were the cause, but I could not get the system to boot from IDG under kernels 5.13.x or 5.11.x and had to go back to 5.8.x.

Thank you very much!

Hello, I recently purchased a new drive and decided to upgrade from Mint 10 to 13 using the Cinnamon desktop. I reviewed a similar post in one of the forums concerning increasing the number of workspaces in the switcher, but even when opening the dconf-editor as root, the value for number-workspaces...
