Hallo,
i have just installed Trisquel 6 (01.Dec.2012) on a machine with the Intel
Core i7 3770K CPU which comes with onboard GPU HD 4000. somehow i believe i'd
need a more recent driver to support the graphics.
is there any chance to make me add what intel supposes here:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2012Q4.html ?
it says i'd need kernel 3.6, so i added the repository offered by
http://jxself.org/linux-libre/ and installed the latest 3.6 kernel. this
seems to work, the new kernel gets loaded.
then they suggest using an ubuntu repository which would provide the new
driver(s): https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers
would it be safe to add this one? does someone know if it uses only free
software?
the other option would be compile the packages myself. here i'm not sure if i
should replace, what comes with trisquel, or should i build besides trisquel
stuff in the /usr/local space. assume there where two drivers, one by
Trisquel and a second in /usr/local build by myself, would the system load
the more recent one?
any hint is much appreciated
