sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae

sudo apt-get install cedarview-drm libva-cedarview-vaapi-driver cedarview-graphics-drivers

Change Option “AIGLX” to “Off” because 3D isn’t working (default settion)
sudo vi /usr/share/intel-cdv/X11/xorg.conf.d/61-cdv-pvr.conf

Update the Grub Bootloader
