RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jeff Burrell 2012-05-10 15:06:40 UTC 
Installing RHEL 6.3 beta/ss1 (64-bit, legacy-mode boot) on Ivy Bridge / Panther Point system(HP Z220), the Intel DRM and X server support is active if the processor is a desktop-class Core CPU, e.g. i7-3770.  

But if the CPU is an enterprise-class processor (e.g. E3-1245v2), the i915
kernel module is not loaded and the installation sets up the X server for the
fbdev driver.

Modifying xorg.conf to require the intel video driver just leads to the
Xorg.0.log file that is attached.  Also attaching lspci -vv output for the
graphics device.

It appears that the PCI ID for the E3 processors are missing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Acquire a system (would be a prototype at the time of this submittal) with
an E3-class Ivy Bridge CPU that has Intel HD graphics support.
2. Install RHEL 6.3 in legacy BIOS mode (though UEFI would probably act the
same).
3. Log in and check the status of the i915 DRM support and the X server
configuration. 
Actual Results:  
Since the native Intel graphics support is not active, resolutions are limited
for the display, and GL support is via MESA.  Performance is less than
expected.  Desktop effects are not enabled by default because they cannot
perform using the frame buffer driver.

Expected Results:  
The KMS and X server support for the processor should be available.  Desktop
effects should be on by default.

We submitted almost exactly the same bug to SuSE recently.  They found the upstream commit where Intel added the missing ID:

The ID was added to 3.4-rc2 via commit cc22a938fc1db0c8ef5e693a69b159c4b851dab3
