Intel Graphics Technology

This is a Intel video adapter

Features

  • Integrated in the Intel 830MG chipset
  • PCI ID: 8086:3577
  • Uses Main memory (8 to 32MB)

Linux X.Org driver

This chip is supported by the 'i810' or 'intel' driver as part of the X.Org distribution. You should also have intel agp and drm enabled in kernel:

CONFIG_AGP=m                                                                                        
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=m                                                                                  
CONFIG_DRM=m                                                                                        
CONFIG_DRM_I915=m                                                                                   

Use xf86-video-intel-2.1.0 or greater (2.0.0 has a bug). For dual-head you should set big enough area in xorg.conf: (2048 2048 max)

Section "Screen"                                                                                   
(..)
   Subsection "Display"                                                                            
(..)
       Virtual 2048 768                                                                                    
   EndSubsection                                                                                   
EndSection                                                                                          

Then you should setup your displays by hand or by adding to the end of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (just before starting window manager, btw. multi head wm recommended, fluxbox works fine):

xrandr --output LVDS --auto --pos 0x0 --left-of VGA                                                 

ThinkPad LCD

Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.

External VGA port

Works. Dualhead supported

SVideo port

??

DVI port

??

Linux kernel Framebuffer driver

This chip will work with either the 'vesa' or 'intelfb' driver as part of any recent 2.4 or 2.6 kernel.
