What sort of success have users with a PC with an Intel GMA 4500 have had? Unfortunately, no one with Intel video have updated the openSUSE HCL: HCL/Video Cards - openSUSE Its not clear to me at all how much the GMA 4500 is supported, but my surfing suggests the GM45 includes the GMA 4500 in the above?

Luckily, this is easy enough to modify, as long as the kernel version is >= 3.13.x and < 4.2.Where do you even find Linux drivers for Intel GMA graphics cards? I have been looking for one for GMA 4500MHD on Intel Download sites, without success.Did you ever have any success with this? The Intel driver for openSUSE normally comes with the rpm "xorg-x11-driver-video" and I documented the little I know here: openSUSE Graphic Card Practical Theory Guide for Users - openSUSE ForumsĪccording to the documentation for the "intel" driver that comes with that rpm, the "intel" driver supports the i810, i810-DC100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G, 915G, 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 965G, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 945GME, G33, Q33, Q35, G35, GM45, G45, Q45, G43 and G41 chipsets. If it is, or when the brightness buttons are working, the issue is that the kernel can not detect where the brightness control is. īrightness does not change with keyboard shortcutsįirst, make sure vendor compatibility is on in the kernel configuration: Toshiba for Toshiba, etc. Kernel with version 4.2 or newer is needed with some 8th generation chipsets.

This is usually done through the bootloader. acpi_osi="Linux" can be passed to the kernel command line to try to solve this issue. Otherwise, it is possible to always have a black screen unless nomodeset is passed to the kernel, thus disabling kernel mode setting (KMS).
