Drivers for Intel Graphics Card Linux Mint 18.2

Post by Danny Fitzgerald » Wed Jul 26, 2017 8:20 am

I have installed Linux Mint 18.2 64Bit on my laptop and my graphics card does not seem to be running properly. When I check for drivers nothing comes up except Unknown device with a button set to use intel-microcode.

how can i get all my hardware running to its full potential?

here are the details of my system.

And it’ll tell you. And there are no other Intel drivers. They don’t actually do binary closed source video drivers so none are going to show up in Driver Manager.

intel-microcode is actually a CPU firmware update and not a driver as such. But it’s proprietary so it shows up in driver manager because that’s the only place for it. Ubuntu (which Mint except for LMDE is based on) does the same thing.

Before installing intel-microcode check its release date in Synaptic and compare it to the BIOS date from your inxi report. If the BIOS is newer than the intel-microcode version, DO NOT install it. Otherwise it should be fine.

Now, could you state more clearly what problems you’re having with the video performance?

hi danny fitzgerald. cead mile failte. oregon state university has an open source driver repository for intel drivers for linux. i have used this for many installs for new linux users and it has always worked for me. i will supply you with the link for it here. when you see the list, go towards the bottom of the list and the next to last listing is. intel-microcode 3.20170707.1 deb 9ul_amd64.deb 13jul-2017. this is the one to click on for the latest update for generic linux substitiutes for the intel drivers which are proprietory by nature. this is the link. hope this works out ok for you. it has always worked well for me. they also have an AMD processor site as well but this is just for the intel im giving out here. http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/no . microcode/ .

Actually all Intel Linux video drivers are open source. I very much doubt Debian would be hosting them if they weren’t.

Actually all Intel Linux video drivers are open source except for the ones they outsourced to PowerVR. I very much doubt Debian would be hosting them if they weren’t.

personally hoser. i do not give a rats behind what your comment says. i never once said deb was behind it. i only stated that oregon state university has these in their repository and since ive converted 47 at last count. former windows users to linux mint and found wheather it was AMD or intel, if there were problems with the existing drivers even those that driver manager conjures up which are older, i have found this particular entity to always work without a problem. if you have more than 47 different computers . make models etc. that you have this much experience on with the results i have had. ie. not one failure. than please enlighten me thereof.

How do I install the Intel Graphics driver in my system?

Can someone help me out and explain or point me in the right direction on how to check video drivers and see if my video card running okay? I had 10.04 installed on my Thinkpad r61 with Compiz Manager and life was great, until the machine took water damage. I bought an ASUS (X54H) since and am trying out 12.04, but the desktop just doesn’t look right. I always struggled with video driver installation. There are no proprietary drivers available in the hardware manager. When I run lspci | grep VGA :

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 

I will greatly appreciate your help. I want to use Linux more, but like I said video drivers appear to be my biggest concern. I have also tried 12.04 on my desktop PC, but again failed to configure video card, so switched back to Windows 7.

The Intel graphics driver is part of the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver package, which is installed on all Ubuntu systems by default. And since it isn’t a proprietary driver package, it doesn’t show up in jockey (aka the Hardware Drivers application).

Just to ensure it didn’t get removed by mistake (very slim possibility), just run this command:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel 

If the driver is installed, and you’re still having issues with graphics on your desktop, then please file a bug report against the xorg package, using this terminal command:
