Can I use the Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers in conjunction with a standard desktop video BIOS?
Yes, this is possible. The Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers provide the capability using the Configuration Editor to configure both the OS level driver and the Video BIOS with the same settings. Although the Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers will utilize settings of the embedded Video BIOS, the OS level drivers are not dependent on the Video BIOS settings. This allows users that may not have the ability to update their system firmware to install and use the Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers with their operating system. Note that the Configuration Editor will not create settings for the standard desktop Video BIOS. If you require specific capability in the Video BIOS, and want to use the standard desktop Video BIOS in conjunction with the Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers, you must configure both the Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers for the OS, as well as the use the BIOS Modification Program (BMP) to configure the desktop Video BIOS. Contact your Intel representative for more details.
