I went to the vesa driver and have it working at 800x600... I'll keep after it until I figure it out. For now I have a baseline xwindows running... Looking around the net folks are talking about the latest driver release from Intel, for X does cover this chipset, so it's a waiting game for it to make it to gentoo. Also I guess after reading quite a lot, SONY is pretty much not very friendly to the greater Linux community.. thanks, James thanks for the ideas. James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: VIDEO_CARDS= Intel Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller ?
The current i810 driver doesnt behave very well for me - blank screens, not being able to run an external monitor correctly and the like. The last one that did is x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 (a good reason for the modular xorg builds!) Also make sure you are using resolutions that are covered by both your monitor(s) and the card bios - they all have to agree or it falls apart (fiddling them with i915-resolution didnt work), despite trying to ignore EDID and DDC. The highest common resolution I have is 1024x768.
