A thorough search of the Intel downloads pages failed to find a download source for drivers for the card GMA 4500MHD (or any other GMA cards). After several hours, I did find a remark that such drivers should be obtained from the download sources of ones own distribution.
I have also made a Google search without finding anything, and searched the usual download repositories through YaST, also without success. Where, if at all, might the needed driver be found?
Unlike NVidia & ATI, Intel puts its Linux driver efforts directly into open source, not proprietary drivers that need to be downloaded separately. If GMA4500 has been around longer than 6 months, what you need is probably already in xorg-x11-driver-video in the openSUSE repositories. If it's too new, you may want to join http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg to get the status or other help.
Thanks, Felix. I had already joined half a dozen forums looking for advice, but the one you suggest never dawned on me. GMA4500, by the way, is for desktops. The MHD suffix is for laptops, "Mobile Hight Definition". Apparently not interchangeable. Thanks also to Sven. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
