Hi,
| Code: |
lspci | grep -i VGA

Is ""i915" a correct driver?
Thank you. |

As kernel driver yes, for VIDEO_CARDS I think you should set intel i965

I'm not sure but 'Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series' seems a Gen 4, and based on Intel® 4 Series Chipsets site all graphic card available on this chipset series are from Gen 4.
