Even if you make a total mess of it you still have your current running kernel so you still have a working system and you lost nothing except some time. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Still Intel published a list of games that will run (not needingly. I don't propose to write a kernel compilation howto in this thread, but simply to point you in the right direction to get the best performance from your hardware with the least disruption.Ĭompiling a kernel sounds daunting but actually is quite straightforward. Discussion in 'Gaming (Software and Graphics Cards)' started by Silent, May 29, 2006. The GMA 950 can not be described as a graphics card that is sufficient for gamers.

The two changes described by BioTube are exactly the ones I have in mind, to change the kernel timer frequency to 1000 and to enable preemption. The changes can be done either in the 'make menuconfig' stage described in that howto or by making a simple edit of a config file as described here The new Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Intel GMA 950) graphics core is an intelligent and responsive graphics. 2 x 240-pin DDR2 DIMM socket support up to 2 GB. I suggest you simply recompile the kernel version you already use and do it the debian way: Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 ( GMA950 ) Memory.
