Re: Driver for I915 GM graphics card in LINUX DEBIAN...plz help
I have a Fujitsu notebook with the same chip. The driver in etch works
fine, though you might need to install the '915resolution' utility if
your display resolution is non-standard and you want to use the
highest resolution.
If you don't want to use etch, then you might be able to use the 'vesa'
driver in Sarge. It definately worked for me on some of the systems that
didn't support the correct driver, though it will probably mean sacrificing
some resolution or acceleration.
