Intel's integrated graphics chipsets

Im considering about intel's  integrated graphics chipsets. I have dedicated ati radeon mobility hd5650 graphics card. My processor is 1st generation intel core i5. All intel processors have built-in graphics chipsets like (intel hd2000, or lower configuration)??? If they are how can i disable my ati card and start using intel's built-in graphics chipset?

I have the same setup (first generation i5, Radeon 5650).  Here is how I do it:
1. Mount debugfs in /etc/fstab (to get the vgaswitcheroo directory needed later)
2. Black list the radeon driver in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
3. If using an xorg.conf file, make sure the intel driver is used
4. (Using KDE) I have a script in ~/.kde4/Autostart called ati-off that contains the following
sudo modprobe radeon
sudo sh -c "echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch"
The last step is necessary because if the radeon card is not enabled and shut off with VGA switcheroo, it will still consume power and make the laptop temperature rise.
I don't know if all these steps are currently necessary -- I set it up like this probably 18 months ago and haven't changed it since.

  • Intel HD Integrated Graphics Photoshop CS5.5

    Tested video cards | Photoshop CS5
    I own CS5.5 and I need a new cheap PC to switch my license to since my laptop is dying.
    The video card is Intel® HD Integrated Graphics and the link above says it is "TESTED" for CS5.
    Am I safe to assume:
    A. If that card is listed, and there are no known issues, then I am safe to purchase my PC with this card.
    B. If A is correct... then can I assume if it was tested for CS5 it is also ok for CS5.5?
    Thanks, if you are using this card and it works, or have experience with it not working please let me know. I would like to buy a new machine soon.

    Weird. After I bought a new hard drive (SSD, actually) and reinstalled everything, all seems to be well with Photoshop.

  • S10 integrated graphic chipset ?

    Hello, I'm about to puchase an S10 and I wonder if the motherboard integrate any basic graphic controler (like an intel gma 950 for instance) ?
    This would allow to boot and start configuring the S10 without any PCIe card.
    Thanks !
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    welcome to the forum!
    neither of the ThinkStation models have integrated graphics.   they will always need a PCI-e x16 graphics card to display video.

  • Intel 915 Integrated Graphics - Sluggish behavior in general

    I'm running Arch on an old Dell Laptop (Inspiron B130, to be exact)
    Includes a 1.5 GHz single-core Celeron, 1 GB RAM, and Intel Integrated 915 graphics.
    What would be the recommended configuration for optimal performance? Right now, I'm using the intel driver and the Xfce desktop environment. Some sites in Firefox (such as Facebook) seem to scroll rather slowly.
    Is there anything I can do to get things running a little smoother? (Would the i810 driver provide better performance, or anything else for that matter?)
    Thanks in advance.

    Any ideas? It almost seems like the window borders "come up" slower than the windows themselves... that doesn't seem right. Stuff in general just seems slow.

    Seriously, posting identical threads in two different areas is pointless. Not only do you litter the forum, you also split up replies which means that anyone looking for a solution to the same problem will have less of a chance of finding it quickly.
    Yeah, sorry about that. Was going to ask a mod or admin to have the thread you mentioned moved here, because it seemed like a more fitting section. Oops.

  • Systemd multiseat with NVidia card and Intel integrated graphics

    I'm trying to set up multiseat Gnome 3 on a system running the nvidia proprietary drivers. The first seat on the nvidia GPU is working fine. For the second seat I'm trying to use an integrated Intel GPU, but all I get is the GDM "Oh no, something has gone wrong" screen. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it could be because the intel driver is also trying to load nvidia's libglx.so:

    Unfortunately the config file for the second X server is /run/systemd/multi-session-x/seat1, which is not persistent. Is there any other way to get a different config file to the second X server, so I can force it to load the default libglx.so?
    For completeness, output of seat-status is as follows:
    seat1
    Sessions: *c1
    Devices:

    One thing you can do to ensure highest perfomance on games is go to the Nvidia Control Panel, Manage 3D Settings, Programs, then find the game you want and set it to use only NVIDIA High Performance (or Discrete) graphics. You can't use both cards at the same time as of writing this (DirectX 11), but with the arrival of Windows 10 and DirectX 12 on July 29 you will be able to use both at once to increase performance. Until then, though, it is simply not possible to use both at once. The best option is to just use the GTX 860M.

  • Xf86-video-intel not not working with intel 82852/855GM graphics card

    I am runing arch linux on a toshiba satilite r15 s829 and have the xf86-video-intel driver installed but Xorg does mot seem to be able to use it with my intel graphics card.

    There's a problem with old Intel cards and the current Intel drivers. Unfortunately using older drivers means downgrading xorg-server and friends. Read about downgrading in the wiki.
    I'm currently using xf86-video-intel 2.13.0-4 and xorg-server 1.9.4-1 and things are OK. My card

  • Wrong integrated graphics driver

    Hello,
    My MacBook has an Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics chipset, but my XP-SP3 partition sees only a 965 chipset. Furthermore, When I am in XP, Intel's online driver-update tool claims that I have the correct and most up-to-date 965 driver. Has anyone heard of this problem? Am I the one who is wrong, instead of Windows?
    If this is asked and answered, please point me in the right direction. Also, tell me what information I need to post in order to help diagnose?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    the GMA X3100 is a part of the 965 chipset, so the informations from the online driver-updates are correct.
    See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA
    To my knowledge, when you use 'Control panel' - 'System' - 'Hardware' - 'Device Manager' you should get an entry for the X3100 when looking at the 'Video' section.
    (Not really sure, since I don't have a MB).
    Did you install the BootCamp Drivers from the Leopard OSX DVD and used the Driver update 2.1 from Apple ?
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Lenovo T410 - issue with i5 520M integrated graphics

    Hi,
    I recently installed Arch on a Lenovo T410. Following the guides in various wikis (Archwiki, ThinkWiki) I was able to configure everything without too much troubles...
    But I have the feeling that the the integrated graphics chipset is not perfectly handled. I get this feeling when I run glxgears:
    $ glxgears
    307 frames in 5.0 seconds = 61.224 FPS
    298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.490 FPS
    299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.688 FPS
    299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.688 FPS

    Thanks,

    If your hardware is bleeding edge it's very likely to not yet be fully supported. In the case of Clarkdale/Arrandale i believe support is added in 2.6.33.
    I suppose you could find that information by searching the forum for clarkdale, by browsing http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux26Changes or asking in irc / forums / usenet. But tbh i can't find much information about Clarkdale either.
    For comparison though, i have ~800 fps on my Thinkpad X200s and 1100 fps on my i3-530 machine (Clarkdale) with kernel 2.6.32.10. Kernel 2.6.33.2-1 (testing repository) gives me ~800 - 900 fps.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - OpenGL 2.0 support for Intel Integrated Graphics

    Just want to share the news that I was able to install the new Intel Chipset drivers that add OpenGL 2.0 support to their integrated graphics chips, such as the X3100.
    This driver was released in December 2008 and even though Intel recommends waiting for OEM versions from Toshiba, I decided to try theirs.
    Links and more info are found in this thread:

    Hi mate
    First of all thanks a lot
    Ive got a U400 and I have installed a Intel graphic card driver from the Intel page too.
    I didnt execute the exe file but I updated my driver in device manager.
    This worked fine.
    Also I read here in the forum that drivers from external pages can be used only at the own risk because such drivers are not tested and not certified by Toshiba
    However, my U400 run trouble free till now.

    I think that the key here is going from a 32 bit to 64 bit computer operating system where Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 can become 64 bit application in a Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit computer operating system. The increased computer resources implication of that should increase the frequency of getting the larger project taken to a successful complete more than before. A lot of this has to do with multitasking potential.
    Premiere Elements does not support CUDA as seen in high end video cards/graphics cards. Since Premiere Elements 9, Premiere Elements has no GPU accelerated effects. But, I would decide on the best card for you based on overall computer rather than just for use in Premiere Elements. If you are interested in computer games, that will impact your card decision.
    The use of a non super NVIDIA or ATI card should work for you. But, I have used neither.
    I would consider more installed RAM, depending on your computer motherboard slots.
    You might want to discuss the choice of the card with NVIDIA.

    I suspect that
    My desktop and laptop computer both use the integrated Intel HD Graphics where my strengths included installed RAM, free hard drive space, and computer processor.

  • Intel integrated graphics freezes when intel driver is used

    So, I'm finally deciding to post here after a long battle with my graphics card. I believe there is an underlying hardware issue with it since I get BSoD's under Windows and seemingly random display freezes whenever I use the intel driver under Linux. This is not necessarily Arch-specific since I experienced the same problems when I used Ubuntu.
    [edit]This is my graphics card according to lspci: Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)[/edit]
    Symptoms:
    Using the xf86-video-intel driver causes random, unrecoverable screen freezes that force me to restart.
    After a screen freeze, I cannot switch to TTY and screen goes blank or stays frozen.
    Screen freezes tend to happen when light to moderate graphics need to be drawn - anything from context menu shadows to OpenGL programs cause a freeze.
    Setting Xorg intel driver option "ShadowFB" to "true" fixes the screen freeze issue, but the display becomes unusably slow. fbdev is faster than using the intel driver with ShadowFB on.
    Setting Xorg intel driver option "DRI" to "false" and "Accel" to "false" does not fix the problem.
    I am able to work around the issue entirely using the fbdev driver (xf86-video-fbdev). The results are perfect for my needs as I don't really use or need any 3d effects as I'm using XFCE. I am fine having only 2d effects as is the case with fbdev. However, the single problem that I'd like to fix with fbdev is that my mouse sometimes disappears when I perform certain actions, such as right-clicking, moving the mouse across the screen, or moving the mouse over a text input to change the cursor. The only way to get the cursor to reappear is to move it.
    I'm not sure what sorts of files may be useful here. I would like to fix this problem either by solving whatever is the root issue with the intel driver or by fixing the issue with mouse flickering using fbdev.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for responding. The freezing problem began a few years ago when I still used Ubuntu, I'm assuming there was either a kernel or intel driver update that broke it. Back then, when the screen froze I was still able to switch back to a TTY and errors that look similar to this would flood my terminal about 1 time per second (not my output, got it from this thread but it is identical to what I saw):
    [ 4232.490910] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
    [ 4232.509642] [drm:i915_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_wait_request returns -11 (awaiting 120527 at 120524, next 120528)
    The intel driver has been broken for me ever since then. I have tried several different distributions to try to fix it but they all produce the same error. Now, those errors do not show up and I can't switch back to a terminal as if the entire system froze. This is my kernel line:
    BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux-ck root=/dev/sda8 ro quiet
    I've tried adding i915.i915_enable_rc6=1, i915.i915_enable_rc6=0, and i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 to my kernel line. enable_rc6 caused no changes, and enable_fbc led to X not being able to start. I also tried enable_semaphores but that produced no changes either (I think that fix only works for Ivy Bridge chipsets, my computer is older).
    Enabling "Shadow" in my Xorg configuration as per the wiki did solve the freeze issue, but now I get artifacts on my screen. Taking a screenshot seemed to not show the corruption, so I recreated two common examples in GIMP of where I see artifacts:
    Here, notice the highlighted line below where my mouse cursor should be. This stays for 500ms-1sec before the screen refreshes again and the artifact is removed.
    And here, the desktop icon highlight effect is buggy.
    Note that these are only two examples; I see this in many different places on my screen. I'm not sure whether my card is old or not. I believe it's somewhat older since I bought this computer at least four or five years ago. I've tried also using the xf86-video-intel-devel driver on the AUR as it is, but it also seems to be out of date so I also tried editing the PKGBUILD to create the 2.18-1 driver instead of the 2.16-2 driver. No changes with either driver.
    Do you have any more suggestions? Thanks for the help thus far.

  • Repeated error from Intel integrated Graphics card in my brand-new B320

    Hi
    I am getting repeated errors from the Intel Integrated Graphics card (on the Intel i3 chip as I understand it) in my brand-new B320.
    I checked via a tool from Intel that my drivers were up-to-date (version 15.22.1.2361).
    I checked via Device Manager Update Drivers that my driver was up-to-date.
    I attempted to uninstall and re-install my driver BUT the uninstall reverted me to a VGA Adapter (so my screen was then running in a low res 800x600 mode!) and I could not even then see the Intel Integrated Graphics card in Device Manager to be able to re-install the driver against (even if I ran scan for new hardware): I had to restore to a System Restore Point - so the problem has of course come back.
    I have even had one error where the screen then went completely blank and nothing would bring it back: I had to power off the PC (Ouch!)
    PLEASE advise how I rectify this incredibly frustrating problem step-by-step. 

    hey johnestlea,
    i was going through the download list of the B320 here : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=156819
    And could not find any driver with the version 15.22.1.2361 for the Intel Integrated Graphic Card. Where did you get that version ?

  • Integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics adapter in boot camp

    Hello
    How can I use integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics adapter in boot camp on my new Haswell Macbook pro?
    It is really important in order to get decent battery time.
    Best regards
    Jesper

    For some odd reason Apple has restricted Mac computer from using that graphics adapter when you are using Windows and your Mac has a add-on, discrete, graphics card installed.
    If you do a google search on it no one has been able to make it work on a Mac.

  • MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Motherboard Integrated Graphics

    Hi i'm a newbie to computer parts and the computer world in general on what does what. I'm only 15 but i'm looking to upgrade my Mobo and CPU I have found a bundle (MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Z77 Motherboard and Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz Quad Core Unlocked Bundle) on tiger direct and it looks like a good deal. But before I buy it I WAS going to upgrade my GPU before I were to get a new Mobo and CPU. I've done some research on the MSI Z77A-GD65 and I saw it has integrated graphics, but I don't entirely know what that is. I was curious if that's a graphics card and if so what it compares to. I have a Nvidia GTX 9800 graphics card that's fairly old now and I was wondering if a Mobo with integrated graphics acted as a graphics card and if so what it would compare to. If you want to know anymore specs about my computer let me know and i'll be happy to give them out.

    It's not the mainboard to have integrated graphics, it's the cpu. The Core i5-3570K has Intel HD Graphics 4000 integrated. The mainboard only offers the output connectors to use it. All current generation Intel cpus have integrated graphics which can be used or not. The HD Graphics 4000 is not meant for gaming of course and would perform worse than your GTX9800 in a 3d game. With a supported mainboard (like the Z77A-GD65) the integrated graphics can be used along the discrete vga for Lucid MVP to better performance and gaming experience (see for more details: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160519.0).
