Back I have installed RH E WS 3.0 U3 on the following boxs;
Dell Optiplex GX280 Tower Dell Optiplex GX280 Low profile
On the Tower version. The integrated graphics card is recognised and can be simply configured. On the Low profile version. The integrated graphics card is not recognised and I am stuck with a default VGA mode with the following;
From /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "VESA driver (generic)" EndSection
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection
I have checked on both boxes what the cards are being identified as;

From the above, it appears as if the version of the integrated graphics card has changed from
00:02.0 Class 0380: 8086:2572 (rev 02)
to this;
00:02.1 Class 0380: 8086:2782 (rev 04)
I though it might be a case of modifying;
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.
in order to match the new version with the old driver, ie to include a reference to 2782, however this exists;
2782 Graphics Controller
I tried the intel website, downloaded the updated intel drivers and it gave the same result, ie X still stuck in low resolution and card not recognised.
Any thoughts on getting this graphics controller recognised..
Many thanks for any assistance.
