Comment (by tonestone57):
Needs new driver or major code rewrite of current intel_extreme driver to
support Intel HD. My laptop also has Intel HD so would be nice to have
for me too to get 16x9 resolutions.
The hardware changed too much for Haiku's intel_extreme driver to support.
Same thing with Nvidia. The Nvidia driver can only support from TNT1 to
79xx because 8xxx and newer Geforces needs major changes to the driver to
work. Same with older Radeon driver in Haiku that works till X800. The
newer RadeonHD driver should support new Radeon cards when finished.
Adding in the device id will not work if newer driver code is required.
The changes between those other listed models were more minor but going to
Intel HD was major hardware change. Same thing for Geforce & Radeon cards
and why the drivers work for older graphic cards and not the newer ones
out today. ie, anyone using newer graphics card is using VESA driver =)
