A couple of months ago I wrote about trying to install oS 12.3 on a PC with intel Haswell graphics. I could not get it to work. X kept wanting to use fbdev instead. I never did sort that out and added an NVidia card instead. I have another of these computers and would really like to see if I can get this to work. I have more than a couple of hours, as was the case last time.

The hardware is http://ark.intel.com/products/75122/, which states that it is HD Graphics 4600, which the driver lists as being supported. I looked at https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads to see if there was something newer. Nope. Seems the version in X11:XOrg is the latest. I wonder about the modeset module error. Which RPM should that have come from? I am guessing this is why the intel driver fails to load... -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer@ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
