I compiled xf86-video-intel-2.6.99.902 from upstream. It also didn't have the sync fix. But it was the only version to which the sync patch applied cleanly (2.6.1 and 2.6.3 had a few hunks failing). The 'make install' put the modules went into /usr/local/lib/xorg/ I cannot quite figure out how to run the regular server (1.4.2) but with the latest intel driver. I tried adding a vt8 line to the end of /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers :0 local /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp :1 local /usr/bin/Xorg :0 vt8 -nolisten tcp -modulepath /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/,/usr/lib/xorg/modules but didn't have any luck getting the server to start that way or when starting it by hand. I'm quite confused about how all the X pieces with together, so I'm just taking random stabs in the dark. How should/can I run the new driver compiled by hand alongside the rest of the Debian unstable X install? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
