I just installed Centos 6.5 on a new machine. The machine has a Gigabyte MB with Intel H110M chipset and embedded video (I don't really have high requirements for video). When I install X and start it, it crashes, and I think the reason is that the embedded video card is not recognized. /sbin/lspci -m shows the following entry:
"VGA compatible controller" "Intel Corporation" "Device 1912" -r06 "Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd" "Device d000"
Since I want to run X Windows, I have the following questions:
1) Is there a driver for the embedded video on the MB? If so, where can I get it and how do I install it?
2) If a driver is not available, are there any other things I can do to get this video card going?
3) If that is not possible either, is there a list somewhere that shows compatible video cards?
4) if that is the case, where can I find how to install the and run the drivers for that card.
Thanks for your help.
compatible hardware list or drivers
Re: compatible hardware list or drivers
Do not use 6.5, it was released in December 2013 so only supports hardware that was current at that time. Use 6.8 which is the latest CentOS 6 and has hardware support for things released in 2016. You can just run yum update if your current install boots to a root command prompt.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
