Old Laptop Linux Driver

Hi all, I am looking for the best driver to use on an old computer running RHEL 7.2.  The computer is a Gateway m465-g which has an Intel 945gm Chipset with integrated graphics - intel graphics media accelerator (GMA) 950.

What driver am I looking for, and how would I install it. The computer does not connect to the internet. Any advice?

Thanks
Steven

Is there something wrong with the drivers shipping with RHEL 7.2? The
drm/i915 shipping with upstream kernels at the time should work just
fine.

Please ensure your messages to the intel-gfx list (or public open source
mailing lists in general) do not include this kind of disclaimers.
