Intel 965

GMA HD vs G45

My motherboard (an Intel WG965DH) doesn't support DVI out natively. An ADD2 card plugged into the PCI-Ex16 slot solved that quickly and cheaply.

• DRM support is provided via the i915 driver (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c29b669caae4ed1630ef479e54bdde126a0378ec)
• G and Q965 docs
• Dualhead docs
• No XvMC support as of 2008-03-19, the xf86-video-intel 2.3 release
  • "(i965 hardware decode is still under work, and would be in next release though)"
• The X.Org Wiki now supports a IntelGraphicsDriver page.
