Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD

This is an Intel video adapter

Features

  • Integrated into the following chipsets:
  • PCI ID: 8086:?
  • Uses part of main memory for video usage

Linux driver UMS

NOTE!
UMS (User Mode Setting) where the mode setting is done by the Xorg driver in user-land is deprecated and future versions of the Intel Xorg driver (v2.10+) will no longer support it. Instead you will have to use KMS (Kernel Mode Setting)
