Re: [XFree86] help - linux drivers for intel
Hi Ali, I have the same problem you have. I'm trying to make Intel 845 work with Linux. Unfortunately Linux is not easy as I thought it would be coming from a Windows background. Hopefully the convenience level of Linux will catch up with Windows in a few years so anybody can use Linux. But for now we have to go through the hassles. You have to install the latest CVS snapshot of XFree86. Here are RPMs for it in Red Hat Rawhide: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ You have to download the XFree86 RPMs. I don't know which ones to install on Red Hat 8.0. I didn't do it yet either. Does anybody know if the XFree86 RPMs in the Red Hat rawhid will work with Red Hat 8.0? Which RPMs should I install? Hope this helps.

Re: [XFree86] Intel 845 drivers
Oh my... That seems like heck a lot of steps to install make Intel 845 work. Can't I just install the RPMs in the rawhide? You must have tried the RPMs before you did this I suppose. Do they not work?

[XFree86] Does Red Hat Linux Phoebe beta support Intel 845 really?
XFree86 CVS is where Intel i845 support was first added. XFree86 CVS is what is in rawhide, and yes, in Red Hat Linux Phoebe beta. That's good news! So does Red Hat Linux Phoebe Beta really support Intel i845 then? I just want to make sure. In that case, I'll simply put 8.0 away and download Phoebe. Has anybody installed Phoebe and seen that the XFree86 version that comes with it includes the updated drivers?

XFree86 Installation Problem
Hello All, We bought a brand new PC and installed Red Hat 8.0 on it. The video card didn't work because there are no drivers for the on-board Intel 845 video card in the version of XFree86 shipped with Red Hat 8.0. On Intel's website it was recomended to download the latest CVS snapshot of XFree86. So I downloaded all of the binaries for the latest CVS snapshot of XFree86, which is 4.2.99.901. I installed all of the packages in that snapshot and overwrote my old configuration files. Now when I restart the computer, it goes into the X window environment but the message dialog box in the lower right corner keeps on printing console log localhost.localdomain over and over again and doesn't do anything else. The mouse stays as a sandbox and the system doesn't respond to anything. Do you have any suggestions what I may have done wrong? Should I not have overwritten the old configuration files? Why does the message box keep on printing console log localhost.localdomain over and over? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you very much, Mete ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

[XFree86] Intel 845 drivers
Hello I installed the latest CVS snapshot on Red Hat 8.0 which comes with XFree86 4.2, but after rebooting the computer it wouldn't successfully get into the X Window system anymore. The console that comes up in the beginning of X Window startup kept on printing over and over again console log localhost.localdomain and the mouse was a sandbox. I couldn't make it work. So I copied the i810_drv.o and i810_dri.so files onto a floppy disk and reinstalled Red Hat Linux 8.0. Then I replaced the existing i810_drv.o and i810_dri.so files that come with 4.2 with the corresponding files from the latest CVS snapshot build that I had copied onto a floppy disk. X still doesn't start. If I change the driver to vesa it starts but with i810 it still doesn't start. Is it possible to make X work with Intel 845 by simply replacing the i810_drv.o and i810_dri.so driver files from the latest CVS snapshot with those that come with XFree86 4.2? Or does the whole XFree86 need to be reinstalled to make it work? Thanks, Mete Kural ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] Intel 845 drivers
Hmm.. So I have to reinstall the whole XFree86. Is there any manual or help file that you know of which gives you tips on how to upgrade your XFree86 version on Red Hat Linux? I looked for this information inside the Red Hat documentation that comes in the CD bundle and couldn't find it. Do you know how to do it? I'm asking this because I tried reinstalling XFree86 once before using the instructions on XFree86.org but it didn't work. Thanks, Mete --- Ramesh K.
