 Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2008 7:10 am Post subject: Which Driver for Intel 915GM? |
 |
|
Hi Community,
i am doing my first steps with gentoo. I'm installing it on an older Notebook from Medion.
The installation of the basesystem is working fine now, but i have problems with compiling the xorg-server.
I am installing from the Gentoo-Documentation http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml.
Now i dont know which driver I must configure in the make.conf for VIDEO_CARDS.
lspci says:
| Code: |
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/9120GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
|
please help me with this problem

Add the following to your /etc/make.conf Under USE= in your /etc/make.conf file add the following (if they don't already exist): | Code: | | input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse |
Then emerge xorg-server and the needed drivers (mouse, keyboard, evdev, xf86-video-i810), and try again.
Below are three different kernel .configs and xorg.conf files. You are welcome to peruse them and use them as patterns for your own setup. Systems 1 & 2 are 32 bit laptops, and system 3 is an amd64 Core2 Duo.
.copnfig_1 .config_2 .config_3
xorg.conf_1 xorg.conf_2 xorg.conf_3
Hope it helps.
Blessed be!
Pappy

Hi,
Thanks for yours fast answer. After emergin xorg i executed
the following:
| Code: |
env-update
source /etc/profile
Xorg -configure
|
after doing that, hi "says" that i should test the configuration with this command:
| Code: |
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
|
if i execute that, i become a blank screen.
My keyboard is working fine, because if i press CTRL + ALT + DEL,
my system is rebooting normaly.
I think i try one of your configurations, when i am finished work today 
or anyone hava an idea what happen?

You have to activate DRI in the kernel, as per the kernel .config files offered above. Also, you only need i810 in your video-cards= statement. To have all those others means X wants to compile those drivers as well.
Blessed be!

Hi, thanks a lot for your help.
I have removed all other Drivers at the VIDEO_CARDS-Statement and emerged xorg again.
My netx Problem ist, to find the property, which configures DRi at your .config-files. Can you please give me an hint, which one it is?
Thank you.

If you need to find something while doing menuconfig, you can hit the key "/" , search (in this case "DRI"), and it will show you options that contain that string.
