Intel graphics cardsIntel graphics cardsPosted Apr 20, 2006 10:45 UTC (Thu) by shane (subscriber, #3335)In reply to: Some notes on Linux and free drivers by lacostej Parent article: Some notes on Linux and free drivers I asked for the Intel graphics chipset on my latest company laptop, because I knew Intel has been good about supporting open source (actually, I also asked for the Intel wireless card for the same reason). PCI reports it as: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)It works okay, although I'm using the VESA mode right now. It looks fantastic (better than Windows, and I don't know why that is), but doesn't support console blanking, so I'll be trying a more recent X.org release soon. As far as performance... I don't know. 2D performance is fine, but when I boot into Windows to play Civilization IV, it's just too slow. But that's okay, because I shouldn't really be playing games on my company laptop anyway. ;)
