How to install Intel Display Drivers on Centos 7 or 8? Please help me
I have a Lenovo laptop with in built VGA-Intel. How can I install the required drivers for this device?
Re: How to install Intel Display Drivers on Centos 7 or 8? Please help me
Post the output from lspci -nn | grep -i vga
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you for looking into this query.
Output required.

Code: Select all
[CentOS 7]$ modprobe -c | grep 8086.*0116
alias pci:v00008086d00000116sv*sd*bc03sc*i* i915
[CentOS 8]$ modprobe -c | grep 8086.*0116
alias pci:v00008086d00000116sv*sd*bc03sc*i* i915
How does the "lack of drivers" manifests on your laptop?
Re: How to install Intel Display Drivers on Centos 7 or 8? Please help me
What does the command rpm -qa xorg\* | sort return? Do you have errors listed in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Explain how it's not working and what you've done so far to try to make it do so?

Re: How to install Intel Display Drivers on Centos 7 or 8? Please help me
When I run Windows 10, It installs drivers and the display looks elegant and the icons and applications look smaller. But when I run CentOS 8, the icons and the display looks bigger. Its not the size of the icons that I'm referring to, rather the resolution.
When I first install Windows 10, it looks just like when I'm running CentOS, after the automatic updates install the drivers on Windows 10, the display looks smaller and elegant.
I guess CentOS is running on the base drivers and not the correct driver that it needs.

You don't like the resolution, so you ask for drivers (without telling that you have beef with resolution)?andyzac2018 wrote: ↑2021/03/01 03:04:21Its not the size of the icons that I'm referring to, rather the resolution.

Classic XY-problem https://xyproblem.info/
You should have started with:
* The optimal resolution for my (display) hardware is XX
* The software has auto-selected resolution YY
* How do I change that?
(This is with assumption that YY != XX. If they are equal, then resolution is not the issue.)

Re: How to install Intel Display Drivers on Centos 7 or 8? Please help me
You got it all wrong Mr Jlehtone. I am not asking how to change the resolution. Yes I'm a novice to Linux, yet I'm not a person who can't understand between drivers and resolution.
I can't understand how you came to the conclusion that I'm talking about changing the resolution and entertained yourself to write a poem about xyz s.
Its like you pass a message to a bunch of monkeys and they pass a different message to the one who receives at the end. Its not a mistake of the person who first told the message. I guess you can figure it out.
Can anyone provide me core technical help to install the correct driver for the display card that I have on my PC?
I have already said that the graphic card is not using the correct driver on Centos, like it uses when I install Windows 10.
The lack of correct drivers, makes the display look large. The display is at its maximum resolution[1366*768(16:9)].
I have tried installing Ubuntu and Fedora. None of them installs the correct driver rather works with the base intel driver that comes along with the OS.
When ever I install CentOS,it just looks like when Windows 10 is running without the proper drivers.
On a fresh Windows 10 install, after activating Windows 10 and running the automatic update, the required drivers gets installed and looks elegant and pleasing.
Why can't the correct drivers be installed on CentOS?
Or is there no grandeur driver support for Linux from Intel?
Therefore, I'm asking help and technical expertise to install the correct drivers.
The previous update tools not available for download.

Re: How to install Intel Display Drivers on Centos 7 or 8? Please help me
I'm not sure anyone here quite understand what you're saying.
Can you please post a screen dump?
Which Windows Manager or Desktop Environment are you using?
Also, are you using wayland or Xorg?
If the latter, what's the output of this:
xdpyinfo | grep dimen
If the former, could you try Xorg?

There is only one set of Intel drivers and that you have already installed.andyzac2018 wrote: ↑2021/03/02 09:21:15Why can't the correct drivers be installed on CentOS?

Intel is the "good guy". They support open source development.
The driver from them is directly included in the distro.
NVidia is a counter-example. They do not release the sources of their driver.
CentOS includes an open source driver, Nouveau, due to that.
Nouveau lacks features. (You can't implement what NVidia does not reveal.)
