This is doubly inconclusive. First, the kernel bundles in the same module support for several similar but not identical controllers. In other words, the i915.ko file you are observing may very well be too old for this particular instance of an i915-style video controller. To know for sure, see if the alias shown by `modinfo i915` match the PCI IDs of the controller. Second, the kernel module is not enough of a driver, except for just a high resolution text console. A X.org driver is necessary too. You did not check for it. If you did in the same way you did for the kernel, you would have found a file named intel_drv.so, with the exact same issue as the kernel module and no modinfo to query the supported PCI IDs. Considering that Debian 6 came out in 2011 and the Haswell microarchitecture came out in 2013, I would say that the answer to the question is very likely no. Regards, -- Nicolas George
