Hello,

The Intel generic graphics drivers that we have available in our Intel site are only build to work for Microsoft* Windows* operating systems, so if you are experiencing any issues with graphics I recommend you contact the Linux distribution vendor or computer manufacturer.

For more information regarding Intel Graphics Drivers for Linux* go to the link below:

I've got exactly the same problem on my Acer Aspire D270 with an Intel GMA3600. Other Games from Steam work fine, but I only get a black screen when I try to play Team Fortress 2.

I am not using the Open-Source Driver but the proprietary Intel Cedarview Driver, will it get improved someday?

Also Windows users complain about the lack of support for the GMA 3600

Hello,

If the problem is only when playing Team Fortress 2 then I recommend the game troubleshooting at the following URL:

Also take a look at the game playable list we have at the link below:
