5 thoughts on - Updating Intel Graphics Driver On CentOS7

• Yes.

  The upstream is actually at http://xorg.freedesktop.org

  If you read the notes, and look at the stack that driver bundle is based upon, you will see it uses the same (latest) X11 driver as the elrepo package above:

  https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2015q2-intel-graphics-stack-release

  Hope that helps.

• Well, that package is older as the one in the current CentOS 7 distro :
  xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.916-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm vs xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.916-5.el7.x86_64

  Are you searching for the 2.99.917 one ?

• Thanks to both. Fabian, I am searching a driver that simply works :))

  and, my screen is “blurry” with the actual driver.

• Hello,

  In the past upgrading the kernel, not necesarily the driver has helped me (running C7 on Intel Baytrail NUC). Can you try kernel-ml from ElRepo and see if there’s improvement?

• Yes, looks like the distro caught up with the release of 7.1 :-)
