If you have an ugly flickering screen when booting openSUSE 11.4 on a HP ProBook 5320m, then do this:
- You’ll need at least the package “
xorg-x11-proto-devel” to build the driver (zypper install xorg-x11-proto-devel) - Download a working Intel graphics driver: xf86-video-intel-2.15.0.tar.bz2 (yes, there are other versions there as well and no, they don’t work)
- Unpack the archive
cd xf86-video-intel-2.15.0- Configure it:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 make- as root:
make install - as root: Edit “
/boot/grub/menu.lst” Add “nomodeset” to ever line which starts with “kernel” and which doesn’t already have it - Reboot.
Note: Do this remotely from a second PC – your eyes will be thankful. ssh and wget are your friends.
