Re: [cwelug] Graphics Card Problem

Thanks for the reply, Mike.  I kind of thought that I had already tried this
since I had tried a post Maverick kernel from a ppa and that didn't work.  However,
I happened to have a 10.10 variant live CD laying around so I booted from it, opened a
terminal and launched glxgears.  Much to my surprise and delight, it came right up.  For further testing,
I installed an game requiring glx / 3d and it worked fine, too.  Thanks for the advice.

My dream fix at this point would be to only upgrade the packages from Lucid to Maverick that I need to make it
work (linux kernel and xorg / intel.)  However, I will do a full upgrade to Maverick if that is what it takes.

Thanks again.  See you soon.

Robert

Try loading a 10.10 iso and see if it supports your card..  That's
really about the only advice I have at the moment.

Can't make the meeting today.  Sorry.  I'll think Apple thoughts though.

One linux problem I have been attempting to solve lately is to get

3D acceleration / glx enabled on the following integrated graphics card:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation
82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)

Currently it is on a 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04 install.

After extensive web searching, I have attempted several xorg.conf edits
and even a patched newer kernel from a PPA (2.6.37), and have
had no luck.  Any good advice would be appreciated (bad advice not so much.)

Thanks.
