Probably not, you will likely need a newer X.org driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel) and Mesa (libgl1-mesa-dri), and possibly a newer libdrm. Unfortunately, the xserver-xorg-video-intel package is way behind upstream even in experimental, and libgl1-mesa-dri in unstable requires a newer libc6 than is available in Wheezy. > - is Asus H87-PRO compatible with Debian 7.1 (even with Linux kernel > from backports) ? > > - http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H87PRO/#specifications > > on this link is mentioned "Integrated Graphics Processor", what does > it mean - integrated Intel® HD Graphics 4600 in i5 processor or > separate video card integrated into that motherboard ? The Graphics on the motherboard. You can of course buy a separate Radeon or NVidia card. Cheers, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
