ok... here it is... ( i did it 2 times cos i messed up the system at first ) i compiled a new kernel ( you need the agpgart module )...
i installed alle the xstuff from debian ( xserver-common (3.3.6) with xserver-svga ... )... then i got me the binaries for xfree 4.0.2 from www.xfree86.org... they have a few there for different glibc-versions... i took the ones for glibc2.2 ( i have tried with glibc2.1 but it didn't work )... of course you have to update to glibc2.2 then ( i think it's in testing )... then just follow the installation instructions... ( go in the xfree dir ( with the stuff u downloaded ) run "sh Xinstall.sh" and then do the pickin chicken :-) <- this one is important, at first i overwrote some files (changed from n to y) and i had to remove all xstuff again )... when that is finished run "xf86config" and you should find a driver for i810 in the card-database... startx and :-) hope this works for you.... but please don't blame me for anything goin wrong... im pretty new to linux and debian... i feel like playin with my LEGO !! when you still got problems just mail me... cu peter p.s. also i would be interested in what the real debian cracks think of that installation procedure ( is it bad style ?? ) On Thursday 22 February 2001 09:32, you wrote: > studenten wg schrieb: > > i think the best solution is to look if the hardware your going to buy is > > supported under linux... > > i had much more trouble installing linux ( exspecially the xserver ) on a > > new intel i810 board with a clereron 433 ( graphic & sound onBoard ), > > than with > > By the way: can you tell me how you did that (the thing with the i810 > onboard graphics) because I have the same problem. > Tanks in advance... > > Sebastian Mörchen > > [...]
