Date | Revision | Description
10/22/2008 | Production Driver (2.2.0.32X) | Production Release Intel® GMA 500 Graphics Driver (2.2.0.32X) – XP
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500 This Production release of the driver contains all features implemented into the driver – based on Product Requirement Documentation.
Known Issues 1. Full Screen DOS is not supported in Plan of Record and not expected to work properly. 2. Flash video playback in Full screen will cause Flash plug-in application crash and possible web browser to exit. Errata / Workaround: 1. To run 3DMark tests successfully with SW TNL on our driver, you must force software vertex processing. To do this, open 3DMark 05 and go to settings->change and check the "Force software vertex shaders" box. Neglecting to do so will result in a box saying "IDirect3D9::CreateDevice failed: Invalid call" when trying to run tests. 2. To correctly measure 3D performance using 3DMark05 Application, please run Enable3DMark05.reg registry in to run 3DMar05 to get accurate benchmark score. You should run Disable3DMark05.reg registry after the 3DMark05 benchmark to avoid any issues/failures. 3. Default OS config will only use SW decode for WMV Motion Compensation due to known XP SP3 issue – this may slow down video performance. MS Media Player 10 with a WMV patch are available from Microsoft® website. MS Media Player 11 works without additional patches.
