I had Eve working perfectly on my old Dell E521 w/ ancient PCIe nVidia Card. That poor machine was just not cutting it anymore, so I built a new machine with a Core i3 w/ Intel HD 4000 graphics.
I just stuck the hard drive in the new machine. Manually removed the old nVidia drivers, installed the new Intel stuff, and Eve loads.... But... Anything 3D rendered is hideously screwed up. All menus and text look fine. It's just anything 3D rendered is a complete disaster. I can log in and update skills, fly by overview only... But that's no fun...
On the up side, frame rate is way better....
I took a screenshot, but I don't see any way to upload it...

1) 2007 nvdia card + proprietary drivers > 2012 intel card + incomplete drivers.
If you search this very forum for Intel HDA chores, you'll find plenty. Simply put, the linux drivers lack the 3D parts that the windows drivers do in software, offloading some work from the GPU.
2) www.imgur.com for your screenshot upload needs. << THE RABBLE BRIGADE >> |

So I should:
1) Buy a newer nVidia/AMD(ATI) Video Card or 2) Wait for drivers to not suck for the one I have (which will take forever).

I was searching "Intel HD 4000" because that is what it's called... I was already further along than the results I was finding. thanks for the tip.

I've decided it would make more sense to just get another Video Card. I'm not going to justify Intel's laziness with a bunch of work I have to do.
This is my old card: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3115#ov
I've been out of the scene since I bought it. What would be a decent card under $100? |

Judging from your screenshot of eve, it looks like your textures aren't loading.
Have you tried to install libtxc-dxtn and driconf, then enabling s3tc texture compression in the driconf GUI? That has worked for me in the past when I was playing on an intel integrated gfx card.
Have you tried to install your old gfx card in your new computer and install the nvidia drivers to see if textures load?
The MSI N630GT-MD4GD3 looks ok to use on Linux and I'm sure it will run eve properly (maybe not perfect on highest settings though). Personally I would never buy such a cheap gfx card because they tend to be already obsolete when you buy them and you suddenly decide you want to play that new game coming out next week. If I were you I'd maybe try my solution from above and see if I can run eve decently. If it doesn't or I'm in a not too lazy mood then I'd install the old gfx card and see if eve runs fine with it. |

You just need s3tc libs and a driconf option.
S3tc is not on by default with mesa because of patents issue. |
