Where can I find video drivers for Intel Integrated?
I have a Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094. The screen has a resolution of 1280x800, but in the distro I'm using (Slax, based on Slackware), I can only get 1024x768. It's not a huge deal, but I'd love to install it, and dump Windows for good.
Anyways, does anyone know where I could get drivers for Intel Integrated Video? I think it has a 945 chip, but I'm not positive. I've used the "915resolution" tool, but X won't start after modifying it. Any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated. |
Unfortunately, 915resolution is the only way to get non-standard resolutions working on Intel graphics chipsets. Both Novel SLED 10 and Mandriva 2007 run 915resolution during boot up, changing the video bios entry for 1280x1024 24bit mode. You could implement something like this in Slackware as well.

We need to know your correct (not a guess) chipset. Issue in a terminal:
Code:
mingdao@silas:~/kernel/linux-2.6.18.3$ /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga If it's Intel I915, then it's in the 2.6.18.3 kernel: Code:
Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support (AGP_INTEL) Best I can find from using <Linux> Google is that might be Intel GMA 950. |
I'm running the command from the root directory, I can't find the kernel directory you ran it from. The result doesn't seem to be very specific:
Command: root@slax:~:# lspci | grep -i vga "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corportation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)" Do you need to know the graphics chipset or the computer chipset? Because I can boot Windows, and check under graphics settings and see which video card is running the monitor. Thanks for your replies. |
You won't have that kernel directory -- I created it -- that is
where I build my custom kernels. You could run it with "lspci -vv" to get more verbose information, but I don't think you'll get anything more with your pci.ids file. And it is the graphics chipset that's important. Perhaps GrueMaster will come back and give you more details on how to use that 915resolution he mentioned. Do a <Linux> Google search on Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. There are computers with it running, but I can't find any information on how to set it up. Maybe try Open SuSE 10.1 -- http://desktoplinux.com/articles/AT5613250391.html Another place to check for someone posting information on that laptop is TuxMobil Other info from the Free Software Foundation ... |
I use a Intel GMA 915 with Slackware and Slax. I have a display resolution of 1280x800@60Hz in my notebook.
I compiled "915resolution" and copied it to /usr/sbin/. Then I did as user a Code:
sudo 915resolution -l Code:
Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.2 I wrote a line to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local: Code:
/usr/bin/915resolution 38 1280 800 Then I added these lines to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Code:
Section "Screen" Code:
Option "ForceBIOS" "1024x768=1280x800" With these changes I have a proper resolution of 1280x800 with 24 bit in Slackware and Slax and a working 3D-acceleration. May be it will work with the Intel GMA 945 too ... the developer gives his ok on his website: http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/ Fluxx. |
