Open-source graphics drivers? I know they exist for Linux, but do they for Windows?

[Garacesh]

Stone's downloads are corrupted, and drivers from Intel's site cause constant screen flickering and prevent the system from booting properly.

Some of our HP laptops also don't have compatible Intel drivers and Intel have expressed that they have no inclination of updating them.

 

Google-fu is letting me down (all I can find is Linux blobs/tarballs), but since the hardware themselves work just fine on Windows 10, and it's just the Graphics Drivers that are problematic, I was wondering if there were Windows variants of the Open Source Graphics that are composed for Linux kernels?

Is the Windows 10 default graphics driver no good for you?

It works, of sorts, but it's choppy and doesn't work with anything other than 4:3.

Which chipset/IGP?

[Garacesh]

G41 Express.

Intel's drivers make the screen a rave party (as mentioned in post #1)

Stone's drivers are corrupt (and are probably just older versions of the Intel one anyway)

G41 is not supported by W8/8.1/10

 

Did you get anywhere with it? I'm struggling to find a driver that works for both display outputs. At the moment they are only working on VGA. No good as a classroom computer then!

No, unfortunately not. Default Windows drivers worked reasonably well so long as it was a 4:3 screen, so I ended up swapping some machines round so machines with a newer chipset went in that room (as we'd just bought widescreen monitors) and the ones with the G41 Express chipset went into rooms still using 4:3.
