Questions tagged [intel-graphics]

[intel-graphics] is used for questions particular to the Intel range of graphic chips and their drivers. Use it only if you know for sure the problem is not a general graphics issue (in that case use the [graphics] tag).

Intel produces processors with integrated graphic chips. Specific support for this hardware is available for Linux.

Use of this tag indicates a specific Intel related graphics problem, that is not a general graphics board issue (in that case should be used) or a generic Intel motherboard/chip issue (in that case should be used).

Several distributions include the option to install the non-open source drivers for Intel graphics chips.

Intel hosts their own Linux graphics drivers
