[elrepo] Intel video on CentOS 6.4

[Andrey Zhunev]

Hi All,

I am running CentOS 6.4 on an Intel Sandy Bridge-based  machine.
I used to have an NVidia GT220 with a proprietary NVidia driver
installed, but now I'd like to set up the built-in graphics (I took
the NVidia out for now).

# lspci -v -s00:02
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 844d
        Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 16
        Memory at f7400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
        Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at f000 [size=64]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
        Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
        Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
        Kernel modules: i915


I have the following packages installed from elrepo:

# rpm -qa |grep elrepo
khrplatform-devel-8.0.5-1.el6.elrepo.noarch
libva-utils-1.1.0-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

llvm-libs-3.0-5.el6.elrepo.x86_64
libva-devel-1.1.0-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

Gnome works, but something is wrong with the driver:

# vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.33.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit


My Xorg.0.log can be found here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=g9rKqty4





P.S. I do not have a xorg.conf at all, as when I tried to make one, Xorg
complained about the number of screens (I only have one monitor):
