How to install Intel HD Graphics driver?
For NVidia cards, I just download/install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-aaa.bb-no-compat32.run It's one file, and it's easy. To run mplayer with VDPAU, I just set vo=vdpau in the configuration file. I assume it's the same for AMD cards. I don't have AMD cards, so don't know. For those with Intel HD Graphics, how do you download/install driver? I went to Intel site, and it's utterly confusing. I just want Intel's driver, so I can try out VAAPI. -- William

I don't use Intel graphics, but I'm fairly certain that you can use the open source driver in Mesa for all Intel GPUs except the GMA 500. -- Tom Low-Shang 416 857 7013 Jabber tomlowshang@gmail.com

I thought the intel chips (except the few older atoms with powervr graphics) had open source drivers. On debian this package appears relevant: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/i965-va-driver Some info on using such a driver in case it doesn't automatically work: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/10/enable-hardware-acceleration-on-... -- Len Sorensen

As pointed out in other posts. Intel does not maintain a proprietary graphics driver for linux. *shock gasp* It's all maintained and released up steam in the relevant open source projects (kernel, Mesa, xorg...). More information is maintained on Intel's opensouce website. https://01.org/linuxgraphics This means you never half to think about it as it all just ship with your distro of choice. Just one of the reasons it all goes under the radar is that it not Gamer level graphics hardware, so it's not covered by the benchmarking press. -- Scott Sullivan
