Hello,
I have Toshiba Satellite laptop with Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset and Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950. I can't get it working with fedora core 4.
I saw Intel has a driver for Linux but only for Suse.
There are also some possibilities as compiling X11R6.9.0 which has support for this video card.
The kernel version is that which comes on fc4 DVD , 2.6.11. I could update the kernel is necessary.

Has anyone experiences with this card?
Please advice me what to do to get my card working.

Thanks

Use the "i810" graphics driver with it. Then look here about enabling a better resolution.

Or maybe try OpenSuse 10.1? I prefer it over Fedora Core.
