Intel Graphics Display Controller [Solved]

I like to spend time trying to understand my installation. In my investigatiosn I found the following:

# lshw -C display
  *-display:0             
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
       vendor: Intel Corporation
       physical id: 2
       bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
       version: 07
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
       configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
       resources: irq:45 memory:d0000000-d03fffff memory:c0000000-cfffffff ioport:40f0(size=8)
  *-display:1 UNCLAIMED
       description: Display controller
       product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
       vendor: Intel Corporation
       physical id: 2.1
       bus info: pci@0000:00:02.1
       version: 07
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
       configuration: latency=0
       resources: memory:d2400000-d24fffff

does this "*-display:1 UNCLAIMED" mean that the device is not used and lacks the correct driver?

Thanks

Andrew

Re: Intel Graphics Display Controller [Solved]

That means you only have one display device connected, so unless you have two connected, just ignore it.

If you look under description you will see that one is VGA and the other is the display adapter.

Regards.
