BT5r3 on Alienware m14x R2 - Problems with Intel HD4000 (Brightness + Resolution)

[santhrax]

Hello to everyone!

I am completely new to Backtrack and I installed it on my Alienware m14x R2. Everything is working exept the brightness and the resolution.
A friend of mine figured out that my intel drivers are NOT loaded. Instead my system uses the VESA driver.


Actually I don't have any clue how to tell Backtrack to load the correct driver for my Intel HD Card.

NVIDIA is running without problems - optirun and pyrit are working using this [Guide] Installing Backtrack 5r3 on Acer Aspire 5742zg (Nvidia Optimus)

Notebook:
- Alienware M14x R2
- Backtrack 5r3 Gnome 64bit
- Intel HD 4000
- NVIDIA GT 650m (Optimus-Style Switching)

Can someone please tell me how to load the Intel Drivers instead of the VESA?



Thanks a lot
