I have upgraded my home PC to Intel i5-2500K CPU (Sandy Bridge family). The CPU has a new integrated graphics core (Intel HD 3000) and it works out-of-box in openSUSE-11.4 including 3D and composition. The only problem I noticed are broken popup menus and buttons in title bars in KDE. Esp. broken popups are very annoying as they are hardly usable, see e.g. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=45061.
Fortunately Intel has released updated X driver version 2.15 which fixes this problem. Here is a step by step how to install the updated driver in openSUSE 11.4.
- Install xorg-x11-server-sdk package
sudo zypper in xorg-x11-server-sdk
- Download http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-video-intel-2.15.0.tar.bz2
- Unpack the archive
tar xfjv xf86-video-intel-2.15.0.tar.bz2
- Now compile the driver:
cd xf86-video-intel-2.15.0
(If you have installed 32-bit system then use /usr/lib path in the second command.)
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
make - Install the driver (will overwrite the files from RPM package)
sudo make install
- Restart the X server (simply relogin to a new session)
Maybe someone can pack the driver into a RPM package in the openSUSE build service, but for me this solution is sufficient...

I think that you can just enable the following repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.4/
that includes the latest intel driver.
After that just "Switch Packages" from yast to this repo.
Yeah, thanks for the hint!
Yes, the new driver has been included there, but I had installed it this way before it made it into RPM ;-)
Hi!
Thanks for the tip. The same thing hit me on my new Lenovo ThinkPad T420 ...
By the way, I had to compile the driver on my own, the one found in the repository above did not fix the problem for me.
Bye, and Thanks

Your solution is working, but the problem is this driver (intel HD3000) can not detect external VGA. Is there any solution to solve this?
I want to install intel graphics driver on my OpenSUSeE, thanks already to guide how to install.
I was getting crashes while installing graphics drivers, the explorer.exe was constantly crashing while installing drivers, on Restore to factory settings I have managed to resolve this issue, as the same was occurring due to system file corruption.
