Gina,
Before install the drive, I install Mandrake 7.0-2.
and must choose "Generic VGA" in the VGA adapter section. According to the
document we must instal "VGA16" X server
First of all, I downloaded two RPM files from Intel WEB.
Then Follow the instruction in the release note!->
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/release_notes_1.htm
1.Install XFCom-I810. You will need to be root to do this.
RPM:
cd /path_to_downloaded_rpms
rpm -Uvh XFCom-i810*.i386.rpm
2.Compile and install the kernel module. The kernel module must be compiled
before it can be installed. This module will
need to be recompiled and reinstalled if you upgrade your kernel at a later
date, so keep the source in a safe place.
RPM:
cd /path_to_downloaded_rpms
rpm --rebuild I810Gtt*.src.rpm
# Look for the output near the bottom that says where the rpm
# was built. Use that rpm name in the next command if you are
# not on a RedHat system.
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/I810Gtt*.i386.rpm
3.Edit the XF86Config file. Setup your XF86Config file. Use your favorite text
editor to edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config.
You will need to be root to do this. You may want to do a 'man XF86Config'
on your Linux box first to understand this file.
Monitor Section
Each Mode that you would like to use must be defined in the XF86Config file
under the "Monitor" section. They are defined
in one of the two following formats.
Modeline "name" ...
#or
Mode
...
EndMode
This the most difficult part in my case because the monitor that I use is
not in the database. If you can find your model in the database, you can ignore
this step.
4.Device Section
Add the following device section to your XF86Config file. There should be
other similar device sections already in the file.
You can add this to the file without changing other device sections.
Section "Device"
Identifier "i810"
EndSection
5.Screen Section
Add this screen section, you should remove any other "svga" screen sections
that may be in this file. Do not remove the
vga16 screen section, as it would be useful if you should ever need to fall
back to vga mode. You must edit the Monitor line
to reflect the Monitor you have. You can get this from another "Screen"
section in this file, or from the "Monitor" section of
the XF86Config file. Be careful not to specify modes that your Monitor
cannot support; you could damage the Monitor.
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
Device "i810"
Monitor "Your_Monitor_Here"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1152x864" "1280x1024"
"1600x1200"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1152x864" "1280x1024"
"1600x1200"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1152x864" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
6.Set up the X server link. You will need to be root to do this. Since
distributions set this up in differing manners, two
methods have been included below. If neither of these work, you will need
to contact your distribution to get more complete
setup information.
Case 1: /etc/X11/X exists.
ls -l /etc/X11/X
#If this does not exist use case 2.
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_i810 /etc/X11/X
Case 2: /usr/X11R6/bin/X exists AND points to your current X server.
ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X
#If this does not exist and case 1 didn't exist, contact
#your distribution for assistance.
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_i810 /usr/X11R6/bin/X
7.Start the X server. If you are already running X you will need to exit and
start again. If you are set up to start X
automatically then you will want to restart it by doing a
"CTRL-ALT-Backspace". If X is not running you should start it
with a command like this:
startx -- -bpp 16
The "-bpp 16" tells the server to start in 16 bit depth. You could also use
8 or 24 bit depth.
"CTRL-ALT-KeyPadPlus" and "CTRL-ALT-KeyPadMinus" will rotate through the
resolutions available at the current
color depth. For additional documentation on XFree86 or the XF86Config file
please visit the References.
It work with my machine now, the problem is there is no audio!!!
