The correct kernel driver to be loaded for Intel onboard graphics is Intel DRM aka "i915". Ie, when you do the command # lspci -v, i915 must be listed as the kernel driver being used for the VGA Controller section. You can verify this by using # lsmod command and confirm i915 module is loaded.
If you see "vesa" or anything similar listed against VGA controller driver in lspci -v output, you are using the wrong driver. So verify first whether you are using i915 or not.if not, i suppose there must be some graphical tool in Ubuntu to force X to load Intel driver. Else try the manual method of editing xorg.conf file and add 'Driver Intel' to section "Device". Google for more details on how to do it. regards, Manseel Sent from my Windows Phone ------------------------------ From: Balasankar Chelamattath Sent: 14-12-2012 11:55 To: [email protected]; SMC List Subject: [ILUG-Cochin.org] Intel GMA X4500 drivers for Ubuntu 12.10 Ubuntu Drivers for Intel GMA X4500 onboard graphics memory.
