Yep. This one will be fun... :)

No. Not really.

Never is, let me tell you.

First some questions:

1. Does the machine lock up when you run X?

No It doesn't but no picture.

2. Do you know what video card you're using?

Intel 845

3. What is the output of pciconf -lv, dmesg?

4. What does Xorg -configure produce?

No idea, haven't tried it. Using HAL.



Given your previous answers, I'd say you _have_ to run it. Then the last
option I offered _will_ work. You need to force it to use vesa and that
is the only way.

It gives a black screen. Vesa or not.

Is that with the retro option?

As a last chance perhaps run X -conf /root/xorg.conf.new -retro and see
if it does happen to work; this shows up the old test pattern so that
you can see that X is actually running instead of a black screen.


Finally, can you change the driver setting in the xorg.conf.new to vesa
and run X -conf /root/xorg.conf.new and see if it works then?

Well, starting X from remote it seems to catch on.

Hmmm....Only as root. Well I'll try to rebuild it without SUID.

This is from remote AND root

xinit: unexpected signal 2

I've had trouble with the Intels for some time. I believe the newer models worked for a while though (9xx I believe) - at least last I saw... thank god they started using real GPUs as Radeon and Nvidia in laptops :)

If I remember correctly, I had trouble with an Intel 845 (your exact chipset- pciconf showed the same as yours) a while back. I was able to use vesa, but then it broke. Mind you the whole laptop had started to go (usb, mouse, etc) so I had assumed it was a hardware failure and let it go at that. An external screen didn't help either.

This may or may not be your scenario or problem (although if the symptoms are the same), but if that retro option doesn't work and you have the option to use another video card I would use it. Unless someone else can come up with anything else to try?

Sorry to disappoint :( I certainly hope someone else has a better idea here...
