Intel 2nd generation core processor family integrated graphics controller driver

answered +0000 Just for the record, since this an older (but valid) question, here an answer: Check CPU and video card: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model name model name : Intel( R) Core( TM) i3-3217 U CPU @ 1.80 GHz. lspci | grep VGA VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) Be sure to have the drivers installed yum install xorg-x11-drv-intel I personally have also the libva-intel and GPU tools packages: yum install intel-gpu-tools libva-intel-driver After installation, reboot. Then the Intel driver should be used.

You can use the xorg-edgers repository of experimental drivers to update the drivers for your video card. Because the drivers are not guaranteed the experimental operation, can solve problems but also created new problems, but you sure are using the latest release of the same. I own a laptop with this graphics card and recently updated the drivers for this repository, where there was no problem. If you want to perform the update run the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa August 16th, 2012 at 02:47 PM. Reason: Solved. Re: How can I Install/ Activate Intel video driver? Solved. Removing an unnecessary 'nomodeset' option in /boot/grub/grub.cfg solved the problem. The option was there because during first install it was necessary to get the video working.
