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] 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.
