Scilab 5.3.0 Plots with Intel (R) HD Graphics & driver 8.15.10.2279

[Jan M. Hollis]

Hi,

I have an HP notebook (dm3-3012nr) with integrated Intel (R) HD Graphics running 64-bit Windows 7.   For this computer, HP recommends and only knows about graphics driver 8.15.10.2141 Rev A.   Windows 7 Update over-writes this driver with 8.15.10.2202 -- which apparently was written by IBM for its ThinkPads which use Intel (R) HD Graphics.  Both of these two graphics drivers crash Scilab 5.3.0 when a plot is attempted.

While HP does not recommend the latest generic Intel driver 8.15.10.2279, I installed this
driver anyway and Scilab now plots.


Cheers,
Jan M. Hollis
