Hello List mates,
Is the xf86-video-intel - Intel video driver for the Xorg X server the same as what Intel provides on their website here:

I wanted also to try it out, but the source code is not available and there is not rpms for openSUSE. Would be nice to get the source code and build our own package. -- Robert Milasan L3 Support Engineer SUSE Linux (http://www.suse.com) email: rmilasan@suse.com GPG fingerprint: B6FE F4A8 0FA3 3040 3402 6FE7 2F64 167C 1909 6D1A -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I also noticed that it was missing. I wonder why openSUSE isn't included on their website. -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Found the source code (from Ubuntu repo): https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/12.04/main/pool/12.04/i/intel-linux-graph... Not sure if we wouldn't need to adapt the code to openSUSE. -- Robert Milasan L3 Support Engineer SUSE Linux (http://www.suse.com) email: rmilasan@suse.com GPG fingerprint: B6FE F4A8 0FA3 3040 3402 6FE7 2F64 167C 1909 6D1A -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Because it doesn't need to be? What you see there are two package types: DEB (aka Ubuntu aka Debian, Mint, etc) RPM (aka Fedora aka Mageia, openSUSE, etc) Do you see instructions there what to do if it makes things worse? Would you know what to do if that happened? If you want to know if the latest Intel driver works better on your system, and don't already have a Factory installation, add one and see. If the Factory driver and Intel's latest are not now one and the same, it shouldn't be long before they are. Intel only releases at 3 month intervals. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
