XFree developers, Recently there has been a discussion of the IEGD XFree driver developed by Intel. This driver is developed and maintained by the Embedded Intel Architecture Division (EID) for use on embedded platforms and should not be confused with the "Extreme" graphics drivers developed for desktop and mobile use. Many of the embedded platforms, which this driver was designed to support, contain similar components to those used in the desktop and mobile markets. Because the chipsets are often identical, it is possible that this driver could be used in some situations where the XFree86 "i810" driver does not function well. Using the driver in this manner is not officially supported by the embedded division.
Unfortunately the 1400x1050 mode that was discussed on this list is not supported in the IEGD driver when using the LVDS display. Although the embedded driver does not rely on the vBios for mode setting, the 1400x1050 mode requires the LVDS to run in a dual-channel mode which the IEGD driver does not currently support. Other configurations, such as 1024x768 on the LVDS display and many common CRT and TV displays are fully functional. Information regarding this driver can be found at this website: http://developer.intel.com/design/intarch/swsup/graphics_drivers.htm The User's Guide, available with the driver, provides significant details with regard to configuration and features of this driver which may be useful for those users investigating the IEGD driver.
