Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHDThis is an Intel video adapter Features
|
Linux driver KMS
KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) is a recent development, and requires that you have at least kernel 2.6.31 and Intel Xorg driver version 2.8. But newer is better. With the 2.6.32 kernel and Intel Xorg driver 2.9 you can expect full functionality including external displays and 3D acceleration.
Linux driver UMS
NOTE!
UMS (User Mode Setting) where the mode setting is done by the Xorg driver in user-land is deprecated and newer versions of the Intel Xorg driver (v2.10+) no longer support it. Instead you will have to use KMS (Kernel Mode Setting)
Make sure your using Intel Xorg driver, version 2.8 or 2.9.
HD acceleration
The hardware does support acceleration of HD decoding, but it's not yet supported by the Linux driver. Support was supposed to arrive in Q3 2010 via libva. There is already MPEG2 acceleration for this chip though.
