I have GIGABYTE motherboard with an integrated Intel display interface (Intel

G33/31 Express Chipset, chiptype: Intel GMA 3100) and have never been able to get it to work properly with Linux (my system is dual boot and MS Windows has always identified it and loaded drivers just fine).

I am running CentOS 6.6, kernal 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 I have downloaded the file: xf86-video-intel-2.14.0.tar from your web site but I do not know if this is the file I need or how to install it. I am not updating my Linux as I use it for PhD research in CS at OU and it works fine as is (other than the graphics problems, of course). Can you help? Thanks

    Ben Carlson

What does "properly" mean for you? Do you get some (broken) graphics, or
nothing at all? What display do you have? Please be more specific.

Please try some fresh distro installer or live media on USB/CD; no need
to actually install anything, just see if graphics work there.

BR,
Jani.

Please keep the intel-gfx list in Cc.

What about the live-cd or some such with a more recent driver stack? Or
just try a recent kernel. v2.6.32 is 5+ years old.

BR,
Jani.
