Re: Debian Squeeze and Intel 82830 GC on Thinkpad X30
So you use KMS and get good performance? I'm not very sensitive to video performance, but I didn't notice any particularly slow operation.

Re: Debian Squeeze and Intel 82830 GC on Thinkpad X30
Possibly someone out there has a working xorg.conf for this amazingly long lived little laptop? I use Debian testing on my X30 with an empty xorg.conf. The switch to kernel mode setting (KMS) seems to have brought its share of problems, tho: without KMS the i810 driver won't start any more, and with KMS, the text console doesn't display (so I get a blank screen for a large part of the boot, until X starts up, which is a problem when X fails to start up or when booting to single user mode). In case it matters, it seems that KMS is controlled via /etc/modprobe.d/i810.conf (and you may have to update-initramfs after changing that file).

I'll give it a go. Any ideas if its something being worked on - old workhorses like this are perfect low cost Linux workstations and it's a shame things break so regularly in video-land. I use testing on all my machines and its only this one that video is a hit and miss affair. When Squeeze goes stable I'll probably keep it there then. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
