These GPUs are limited to the Nouveau graphics drivers, which are pre-installed. However they must be manually enabled. Here's how to do so:

  1. Power on/reboot the system
  2. On the boot menu, press the "e" key
  3. Type "nomodeset " (yes, include the trailing space)
  4. Press the "Enter" key
  5. Log in, now in low graphics mode
  6. Create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-utils.conf with this content: 
    install nouveau
blacklist nvidia
  7. Now reboot again
