The fedora 21 have not! Have some one help?

Cool! I'm doing a fresh install of Fedora specifically for this driver. I have a Gateway Atom Netbook that hasn't work on any flavor of Linux thus far. Hopefully this does the trick. I'll keep you posted.

Besides... I've been wanting to try Fedora again since my last run at it over ten yrs ago.

Cheers, Anthony

Good news from Intel to their user:

Early in March, Intel –specifically the Intel Open Source Technology Centre– released a graphical installer providing Linux users easily install the latest graphics drivers for your Intel graphics hardware.

the Intel core kernel driver
Mesa 3D rendering library, responsible for 3D rendering, OpenGL compatibility, GLES, etc.
the 2D renderer for the X Window stack (xf86-video-intel), also known as DDX.
libdrm –the “Direct Rendering Manager” library, for communication between user applications and the kernel
the Cairo graphics library, for 2D rendering and acceleration
vaapi-driver-intel –the APIs for hardware-accelerated video rendering, processing and output
initial support for Wayland

Open a terminal an type :

cd Downloads

wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg-2 ; \

Sorry for my ignorance, but what happens if I already have installed in my system the package xorg-x11-drv-intel provided by Fedora? Or this is a different thing?

This is an updater, altough I've seen someone complaining about it messing with configuration of some libraries needed by Steam. If you're very cautious and can't handle even basic troubleshooting for such cases I'd recommend testing the installer right after doing your periodical system backup (partition image).

There is no use in installing any intel driver, the original one shipped by fedora and installed by default is the same as what Intel releases. There is one difference: The driver shipped by fedora has received testing on Fedora.

This is why I recommend not installing this driver.

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >750 is welcome to improve it.

One best option to obtain/install/update packages, use directly the repository.

First add repository configuration:

Create a file Intel_Linux-Graphics.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d

Fedora 24: (tested, works fine)

[Intel_Linux-Graphics_Fedora_24]
name=Intel:Linux-Graphics:Fedora:24 (Fedora_24)
#type=rpm-md
baseurl=https://download.01.org/gfx/repos/repos/repos/fedora/24
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://download.01.org/gfx/repos/repos/repos/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg-4

Fedora 23: (not tested)

[Intel_Linux-Graphics_Fedora_23]
name=Intel:Linux-Graphics:Fedora:23 (Fedora_23)
#type=rpm-md
baseurl=https://download.01.org/gfx/repos/repos/repos/fedora/23
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://download.01.org/gfx/repos/repos/repos/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg-4

To install/update driver:

sudo yum/dnf install intel-graphics-update-tool

And run it, using Alt+f2 and enter intel-graphics-update-tool, then follow the assistant (Begin->Install).

When I try to run the install tool on Fedora 19 I get an error stating that my kernel version is too old even though it is the latest. EDIT: I discovered this related post, it works perfectly for me https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/37594/install-intel-graphics-driver-in-fedora-20/

I do have the old integrated Intel card. X11 defaults to VESA without the 01org installation. However, this can be worked around in my case. Perhaps this helps you to force the right driver (since they are already on the system unless you did a minimal install):

Removing VESA driver:

# yum remove xorg-x11-drv-vesa

After X11 restart, it then defaults to the fbdev driver, so we remove that too:

# yum remove xorg-x11-drv-fbdev

After X11 restart, it "defaults" to the correct driver. You would see the following line in the X11 log:

# grep Loading /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[     4.724] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
