Probably not, you will likely need a newer X.org driver
(xserver-xorg-video-intel) and Mesa (libgl1-mesa-dri), and possibly a
newer libdrm. Unfortunately, the xserver-xorg-video-intel package is
way behind upstream even in experimental, and libgl1-mesa-dri in
unstable requires a newer libc6 than is available in Wheezy.

The Graphics on the motherboard. You can of course buy a separate
Radeon or NVidia card.
