Thanks. > The full output from running lspci under Ubuntu is here: > http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~wtracy/1420/lspci.ubuntu It's a little short on info. Can you post `lspci -v'? You can just strip out the VGA device. However, it does say "Mobile Integrated Graphics". Since you said this is a 965, I'm guessing this is a 965GM. Is this a laptop? Which one? (sorry if you already answered that) > and the Xorg log from after the driver update is here: > http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~wtracy/1420/Xorg.0.log.lfs.2 If you look at the end of the log, you'll see that 965GM is not listed. Most likely you'll need xf86-video-intel-2.x.x. Like I said earlier, I _think_ you can build that against the old xorg-server in Xorg-7.2. > My honest best guess right now is that the Xorg driver doesn't like my > kernel, at 2.6.22.5, unpatched. Not in this case. The xorg server and drivers are basically like their own kernel in userspace. In this case, the driver just doesn't know how to support your hardware. The kernel drm modules only come into play when you start using GLX/DRI, which mostly comes into play for 3D through Mesa's libGL or through AIGLX. But you're not getting that far. Work is being done in Xorg now to have more of the driver work offloaded to the kernel drm drivers, but that's not the case with your server. I highly, highly suspect that updating to xf86-video-intel-2.x.x will at least get your video up. Whether there will be other problems after that, that's another matter. BTW, the FB drivers in the kernel have no effect on X. Except that sometimes they interfere with the X drivers and cause problems. If you don't need a framebuffer driver for your video card and can deal with just versafb, don't even build the other FB drivers. They'll be autoloaded if they exist at boot. > Random thought--I've been building Xorg under Ubuntu in a chroot.

No. Not until you actually run X does it interact with the system. The build is completely contained to the other components in the chroot. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
