Hi all,
I'm using the above laptop for work and have become the unfortunate owner of an intel graphics chip.
lshw returns:
*-display:0 UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
. . . .
configuration: latency=0
resources: . . .
lspci returns:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
So I ran a few commands:
wget
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/...-2.13.0.tar.bz
. . . .
make . . .
sudo make install
This installed two files in /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers.
I have a few questions at this point. How are drivers found and implemented as opposed to modules? I'm used to installing kernel modules, but not so much with custom drivers from the manufacturer.
Has anyone else gotten this working? Ever? The few forum postings I've seen have gotten pessimistic replies on this topic if any.
P.S. - I'm using gentoo.
