intel drivers for HD 3000 Intel on board graphics?

Hi,

I'm considering going getting a new setup with ArchLinux only. I'm thinking of a Intel H67 chipset motherboard with integrated HD 3000 drivers.
According to the http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ site the hardware is supported but are the people out there who have this working?
In case it doesn't work I can always put in a cheap nvidia card, but it would be nice if the intel graphics work of course.

Also I'm considering to go for SSD only but I saw that I have some reading to do because partitioning for SSD is different but that's for another topic i guess ;-)

tia.

regards

Alex

It's not the motherboard chipset that has the graphics, it's the processor. Now it's truly a combined CPU+GPU chip. And be careful, only the beefier processors have the HD3000, lower-end processors have the HD2000.

Anyway, you need kernel 2.5.37, mesa 7.10 and xf86-video-intel 2.14 for the graphics to work. They're still in [testing] as of this moment.

I have i5 2400 and GA H67MA-UD2H - everything works great. Performance however should be a lot better with mesa 7.11.

@rieger

I wouldnt choose nv 220 over Intel HD Graphics

Please change your mirror to a synced one.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … deo-intel/

As you can see, 2.14 version is in the extra repo and 2.15-rc is in the testing repo. You _need_ 2.14 at least for Sandy Bridge graphics...
