Hi. First time installing arch. I was wondering which video driver I should install. I'm using the video device built into my motherboard. Here is a link to my motherboard info.

Thanks.

The Beginners' Guide has a section that will step you through making a decision about the appropriate video driver

Sure, but I don't know what video card I have. I'm using the video built into my motherboard, and I can't find any info on the chipset it uses. Is the vesa driver pretty good?

You will need knowledge of which video chipset your machine has. If you do not know, use the /usr/sbin/lspci program:
$ lspci
What does that tell you?

It says VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. .... Integrated Graphics Controller.
The only available video drivers with "Intel" in the name are the i740 and the i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+
But lspci doesn't tell me which of these is the relevant one.

Edit: Nevermind. Looks like I did not post fast enough. Beat me to it.

Thanks for your replies. Since the board is quite new, should I assume the i8xx...etc driver will work?

Try the xf86-video-intel driver first

xf86-video-intel is the X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video driver :-)
