From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: E.g. the Dell Optiplex 280 Gx comes with an integrated grahpics chip called Intel 915G express. Installing RHEL out of the box, I can only use this card together with the VESA driver. Searching around a little at Intel:s site I came to http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm where they are offering me a download of what looks to me as a snapshot of the drivers from dri.sourceforge.net which actually let me use the graphics card with the accelearated driver for Intel 865. What are the chances of getting this driver included into RHEL 3? The same applies to FC2. Do you want a seperate bugzilla for that one or will this be sufficient?

Install the computer 2. Note that it will only work with the VESA driver Additional info:
Support for Intel i915 is currently in X.Org CVS development, and will first be officially available from X.Org once X11 6.8.0 is released. We are currently in the process of packaging X.Org CVS development and will be putting it into rawhide within a week or so for Fedora Core 3 development. Fedora Core 3 will be the first Red Hat operating system to support the Intel i915 video hardware. Red Hat Enteprise Linux 4 will be based upon this codebase and will also support the i915. There are no plans to backport this driver to XFree86 4.3.0 or X.Org X11 6.7.0 at this time, however you can test the 6.8.0 packages in rawhide once they become available if you wish. Thanks.
