Just recently bought a Dell E6410 with a Intel® HD Graphics with ExpressCard with I7-640m processor. Having some issues getting a graphical env to work. By just the looks of lspci X is wanting to use the VGA Compatable controller: Intel Corp Core Processor Intergrated graphics controller. Everything else is using Intel Corp Series 5/3400 Series Chipset.
Has anyone else had any luck getting similar intel onboard grphics to work?
onboard graphics in those Core-I* things is in the CPU chip, *not* the chipset. the chipset provides the graphics output path only. The graphics is in the CPU chip because the memory controller is also in the CPU chip.
I believe it uses the IGDNG driver, not i810 or whatever. I have no idea how well CentOS supports this, you might have better luck on that laptop with Fedora Latest.
