Intel GMA 3600 Fedora Linux Driver.

[idata]

Can someone post a link to the Intel GMA 3600 Fedora Linux Drivers?

The link I have on Intel.com does not work any more.

Hi Enn Breeze,

Intel does not provide Linux drivers for the GMA 3600; try contacting the Linux software community at

http://www.linux.com/community http://www.linux.com/community

Thanks

Hi Breeze,

I have found a PDF on Intel's site relating to Fedora, if you are still interested I should be able to relocate it for you.

Here you go: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-033648.htm Intel� NM10 Chipset Family Boards — Enabling hardware accelerated playback 🙂

Don't you just love it when you can contradict Intel support! When will Intel's staff actually answer questions correctly, and when will Intel's staff actually have the hardware available to know the problems we are having?

Indeed.

My only advice to Allan is that the next time he intends to refer somebody seeking support on Linux, at least on these particular Atoms, to the community, which seems like a canned script for "we don't do Linux help desk support," he better have the source code ready on hand, and the community shall then take care of the rest.

You cannot expect to teach a dog new tricks if you don't throw him a bone.

Why the heck did someone suggest his was the 'correct' answer, if anything it is the incorrect one? How do we report this? As abuse?

Hey Allan,

I beg to differ. What would you consider this [1] then? A faux pas?

Quoting from the above Intel Linux driver ReleaseNotes:

Copyright (C) 2012 Intel Corporation

INTEL CONFIDENTIAL - FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

= Intel® Linux PowerVR !Graphics/Media Drivers for CedarTrail =

== Version 1.0.2 Product Release ==

August 20, 2012 (WW34)

* This is a minor, ''internal release'' only. Should this package be exposed

externally, the exposing entity would need to ensure all proper procedures

have been followed and legal obligations met.

* The most recent formal release was **version 1.0.2**.

This is a scheduled **version 1.0.3** minor release for the Linux accelerated

graphics/media driver on the CedarTrail platform. It plugs a memory leak in

the VAAPI driver component identified by a customer. Only the VAAPI driver

component was modified in this release-- the kernel and userspace components

are unchanged from the version 1.0.2 release.

These graphics/media drivers are ported from Imagination Technologies (IMG)

Device Driver Kit (DDK) version 1.7 ED862890.

The quality assessment report for this release can be obtained by contacting

your Intel(R) support representative.
