Intel HD Graphics 3000 support/getting started

["William D. Jones" <thor0505%comcast.net@localhost>]

Hello all,

I know based on previous posts that Intel graphics drivers are available in 
current. However, I'm currently a bit puzzled on how to get started with 
these drivers due to lack of information about what specific drivers are 
available, how to enable them, and how to setup X so I get beyond 1024x768 
resolution.

To start, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 as my laptop, with Intel HD Graphics 
3000, so getting a new gfx card is infeasible. Is this particular card 
supported in amd64 current at this time?

If so, what is the easiest way to get started if my current NetBSD 
installation is 6.1.5 (which does not have such support and limits me to a 
4:3 ratio on a 16:9 monitor :P)? I know for now that I should disable 
acceleration based on Firefox issues, which were mentioned in another post 
on this list. If it's not currently supported, well- I just have to wait for 
now :P. nv doesn't support my discrete gfx card (Quadro 2000M).

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Sincerely,

--
