Hello all. I have two machines with intel 845g cards, one of which works and one of which doesn't. The one that doesn't is a dell, and the one that does is just a white box with an integrated 845g on the motherboard.
By not working, I mean that the dell only displays at 640x480, and it draws images improperly, i.e. the desktop image has a bunch of erroneous lines over the top few inches of the screen, whereas the other machine can do 1024x768 with no visual errors. These results are with the i810 driver specified in xf86config-4. Using the vesa driver, both cards work. Attached is the output from both machines of lspci -vv. Both cards have the same pciid, 8086, 2562, but they have different subsystem id's. Has anyone else seen this problem? I'm wondering if this is caused by my backporting of the 845 patch or if its a problem with the driver itself. If noone else has seen this problem, I can try the latest build of X on the nonworking machine.
