I have a Dell desktop with Intel i7-2600 that has an HD3000 embedded graphic. X works here on 11.4.

It's called "Intel HD Integrated Graphics".
That's a chip family. Probably its HD2000 or HD3000. As I wrote: it works here in a desktop setting. It's not appropriate for gaming, but for office work it's sufficient. I don't know if suspend works; my new Thinkpad T420s that has also this graphics chip hasn't arrived yet. Then I'll know. ;-) AFAIK, http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.4/ has version 2.15.0 of the intel driver that's more current than the one from 11.4+updates (2.14.0). Maybe that helps with your problems.

No, the chipset is called "H67 Express Chip Set". That's what the Product Guide calls it.

I'll give it a try to straighten up the terms: - SandyBridge: Intel code name for 2nd generation core i (i3/5/7-abcd). First generation was core i3/5/7-xyz. - HD2000 / HD3000: name Intel has given to the "integrated graphics" in SandyBridge processors. Some desktop SB's have HD2000, others HD3000, whereas all the mobile SB's (known to me at least) sport a HD3000, according to Intel nomenclature. - H67: name of the motherboard "chipset" (it's single-chip, AFAIK) - the "chipset" is not involved in rendering graphics output, but needs to make the "Integrated Graphics" available to the outside world (via a VGA/DVI/HDMI connector) /K.-H.
