Hi, as developer of 855patch I get a lot of feedback from people using XFree86 on computers with i855GM graphics. It seems like new notebooks by Dell feature a new video BIOS from Intel (iirc Build 3066) which finally implements the int 0x10 0x5f11 function to set the amount of video RAM and thus making 855patch obsolete.
But the i810-driver refuses to work on systems with that BIOS version. I had several independent reports of users who just get a completely green screen when starting XFree86. I had a look on a log file and found nothing unusual. The XFree86 VESA driver however works but just in low resolutions/color depths as there is no way to allocate more video RAM there. As I've been absent of this list: Is this already a known issue?
