Driver Intel grafic 4000 to centos 5.5
Hi guys,
I have a notebook dell vostro 3560 and try to install the driver the video, nework and wireless, but I cant search this driver...I need help... thanks Fabio |
Hi,
if they are not already in CentOS, then you can probably get the packages/drivers you need by adding the elreop yum repository. See http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php for details. To provide more specific help we need to know exactly what hardware your machine actually has - knowing it is a "dell vostro 3560" doesn't help so much. To find out what the hardware is you can use the "lspci" command. Evo2. |
step # 1
centos 5.5 is 5 versions out of date and has been UNSUPPORTED sense April of 2011 it is missing the last 3 YEARS!!!! of security updates ! --- DO NOT USE IT !!!!--- if you MUST use the older CentOS 5 for legacy software or hardware install the CURRENT for the legacy CentOS 5 CentOS 5.10 or install the CURRENT version CentOS 6.5 also be aware that cent dose NOT support all "notebook" hardware Quote:
the intel " chip" is AUTO supported by the kernel but 5.5 is so OLD it might not 5.5 had the 2d "nv" driver installed by default for nvidia and had a OLD!!!!! version for the ATI chip WHAT are you trying to install ?????? Quote:
there was very little wireless support and the wired network was a manual set up or obtained from dhcp --- NO DRIVER was ever needed for the network only for the very under supported wireless in the old 5.5 what is this wireless and what are you trying to install ? |

I need to install this version because i having to install another app called SASS-C on system i386, could be in distributions RHE or CentOS or Scientific Linux all in the i386 only, but does not work on i686 platform. The problem when I install any of these version in Graphical Mode, when the end of the installation has to happen when the first boot in the login screen, then the menu does not appear to enter the name and password in any distribution of those mentioned. In that case would have to edit the init level 3 to give the startx command, but do not know how to do this. When I install in text mode, do I login at level 3 and then do startx command and it works, the problem is that it does not recognize the video card (intel grafics 4000) Network (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) driver and driver wireless network (Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz)), so I can not update the repository. Sorry my bad English. Thanks Fábio |
Hi,
if some software (eg SASS-C, whatever that may be) works on CentOS 5.5, it should also work on 5.10. So, I suggest you install 5.10 and then hopefully your wired network device will work. Then you can go about getting the other devices to work. Please note, again, that the output of the lspci command is the most useful thing to let other people know what hardware you have. Evo2. |
386 ONLY???
and not 586 or 686 that might be a problem even on the dead CentOS 5.5 if you do install 5.5 NONE of the old and dead repos are around ( might be a few that have not been retasked ) you need to HACK the source for the software repos to point to the Historical archive "the Vault" http://vault.centos.org/ as to Sass c is this https://github.com/hcatlin/sassc http://sass-lang.com/ or is it this http://www.eurocontrol.int/articles/...tem-atc-centre now keep in mind that cent is a rebuild of the SEVER based Operating system RHEL it was NEVER designed to be ran on a lightweight "netbook" and 5.5 is OLD VERY OLD it has NO support for any newer hardware and the old 5 series has very little hardware support and has NO!!! support for a NEW AMD 3d chips if you MUST use 5 use the current 5.10 and use a supported laptop from 5 YEARS AGO centos5 has NO hardware support for NEW hardware |

Hi, Thanks so much for your answer, a try to install the CENTOS version 5.10, i to think that i try to install this version and not work the hardware of video, Do you know how to install CentOS in Graphical Mode and edit to use start X before the logon screen? Thanks again |
if your AMD gpu is NOT supported in the older legacy cent5
it will be a text only install there will be no gui and no gnome desktop and no " Graphical Mode" |
