|
|
I am a newbie here, and have trued reaading everything on this card. I still cant get past 640 X 480 in KDE. When I do an xorgcfg, I select the i915, but it wont even let me start X then, I have to go back to VGA.
FOrgive my stupidity, but I see people mentioning GLX and recompiles. Why when I do a glxinfo do I get this:
name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldnt find RGB GLX visual
I would appreciate any help

First make sure the i915 driver is compiled as a module. Then consult your /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors. |

What kernel are you using? Try this if you are not using genkernel:
As root:
Then run:
Menuconfig is one way to configure your kernel, the GUI way. Configure your kernel options as follows:
**NOTE** For: "Linux Kernel v2.6.15-gentoo-r1 Configuration"
Code: | Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
<*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
<*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
<M> Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
<M> i915 driver |
Do not change anything else. Once you have saved the changes, run this to compile and install your kernel.
Code: | make && make modules_install install |
If this doesn't work. Post the output of "lspci" and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. |

You didn't mention your kernel version:
Also, did you verify your kernel configuration?
I noticed you have the following modules commented out:
Code: | # This loads the GLX module
# Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
# Load "dri" |
If you want GLX support, the module must load. Try uncommenting both of these. |

If you want to enable DRI do not compile your Intel into your kernel. Just carefully follow the howto.
Good luck! |
