So, one is the graphics core name and one is the chipset name. Intel(r) GMA950 is the graphics core that is integrated into the Intel(r) 945GM and 945G chipsets. But according to your page, the Dell Inspiron 640M laptop uses the Intel(r) 945GM.Īre the Intel 945GM and the Intel GMA950 the same chipset? Answer Question: I am looking for a translation table between chipset names and commercial names.įor example, a Dell Inspiron 640M laptop uses the "Intel(r) Graphics Media Accelerator 950TM," according to the Dell website. There is only one graphics adapter, and we've never built an X server that can share one adapter between two people. Is it possible to build a dual head system, with dual independent X-servers? (For example, like a so called Hydra System? two Keyboards, two Monitors etc.) Answer Question: As far as I see, there are dual sDVO cards available for the 965g. But that's right, Intel doesn't offer a stand-alone PCI-E graphics adapter. This is just an adapter board, which connects the onboard graphics chip with a DVI connector using the sDVO portion of the PCI-E standard. You can purchase (for around $20) an 'sDVO' card which plugs into the PCI-E slot and offers DVI support in various flavors. (Btw, I'm talking about connectors - please on't touch these HDMI, since I need no content protection on an open source system). I couldn't tell if the g965 supports dual head with different xsessions. Nor is there any dual head DVI-I support, and the remaining boards have only one VGA connector. But there is only one mainboard in the Intel offering with DVI-D, and none with DVI-I support. Question: Since there is no PCI-E graphic from Intel, I have to buy a mainboard with onboard graphics. Please click on this link to view a list of Intel motherboards. Many vendors produce motherboards with onboard Intel graphics, including Intel. Question: Where can I buy a motherboard with Intel graphics? Answer This means there's no funny 'blue' image caused by the color key, and it means you can capture video frames with normal X tools.
#INTEL R GMA 950 DRIVER#
To better support the Composite extension, the Intel graphics driver supports -for i915 and later- textured video, which uses 3D hardware to paint the video directly to the frame buffer, instead of using an overlay. Question: Does the driver support the Xv extensions? Answer Yes, the i965 hardware supports a fully programmable GL pipeline and the driver exposes it through the GL API. Question: Does the i965 3D driver support vertex shaders and other advanced GL functionality? Answer Make sure the notebook uses the Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 for graphics, instead of an external graphics processor. Many major vendors have announced products using this chipset. Question: Where can I buy a notebook with the Mobile Intel GM965 Express Chipset? Answer The Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 is just the part of the Intel GM965 chipset that is used for graphics. The Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset is the whole piece of silicon, including PCI Express, memory, and CPU interfaces along with the graphics accelerator. Question: What is the difference between the Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset and X3100? Answer Most Linux distributions continue to ship older versions of the driver which rely on the BIOS for mode setting.
#INTEL R GMA 950 CODE#
The Intel X.org driver version 2.0 now includes native mode setting code that no longer relies on the BIOS to configure the chip. See allįrequently Asked Questions Question: Is the BIOS still used to set the mode? Answer Could be more repos, external blogs or other websites related to the Project.
