[SOLVED] Old Intel HD 3000 driver?

Hello,

I have an old laptop, Fujitsu Lifebook E751, that has an Intel i5 CPU with HD 3000 graphics. Does Devuan have drivers for these old graphics with hardware acceleration? I would like to squeeze the most out of this GPU. I looked online how are old Intel integrated GPUs doing on Linux but it didn't seem hopeful. I never had a laptop nor Intel stuff so I don't have experience with them and Linux compatibility.

Does anyone know if any open source or proprietary drivers are there?

Thanks a lot!

I had computers with Intel i5 CPUs and Intel graphics hardware.
In general, there is no need for such a special driver, since Intel is one of the most Linux community-friendly and open manufacturer there are. Intel has it's specs completely open and even helps developing these drivers. (or they do it themselves).
With Devuan OS releases you should encounter no problems.
My experience is based on Dell, HP, Asus, Acer and other hardware all with Intel GPUs. The OS-built-in kernel modules (drivers) are accelerated drivers already.
So no worry, just install and have fun. Usual graphics-stuff and games run fine.

Oh, that's the best answer I could wish to receive! Thank you! No extra steps, just works out of the box, the best thing.
