What hardware do you have? If it's a straight G965 and not a GM965 (I think), you should be able to use xf86-video-intel-1.7.4 with Xorg-7.2. I used that for a long time on my G965. You can probably also run the newer xf86-video-2.x.x releases, which don't use the BIOS for modesetting. I _think_ they should run against xorg-server-1.2.x. If you're not sure, please post the output from `lspci' about your specific card. Also, a full Xorg.log might help. > I did try building the new version of the Intel module with my current > kernel and Xorg, and I can see it being loaded in the log. However, I > still have no joy. Can you attach a full log from that? I'm having a hard time believing you have unsupported hardware with the new driver. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
