Here is the output of 'lspci' attached with the email.
Note :: I am getting vertical strips when default system boots or
when i try to start graphical interface...in any case it shows
vertical strips.but it wont go ahead of that and stucks there itself
without prompting for login screen.
5)Are you getting any error messages that are not part of the log
files you've included? No.. I am not getting any error message.
Check /var/log/xorg.0.log (or /var/log/XFree86.0.log) and look for lines
with EE or WW. They may be clues. Also, somewhere in that file should be
a notice as to which configuration file it's using. Make sure that file
is the same one you're tinkering with.
6)Have you tried the "vga" driver in XF86Config-4 instead of "vesa",
or have you tried dropping the DefaultDepth from 24 to 16?
I have tried all the way.
I'm unsure what "all the way" means. I'd try even dropping down to 8. I
would also try the i810 driver. Also, since this is an integrated
driver, that means it's using system RAM; there may be an option in the
BIOS to up the available video memory; look into that. (Dell had a
series of computers four or five years ago in which a certain BIOS (A03
maybe?) was buggy and didn't correctly report the 8 MB assigned in the
BIOS to the OS; a firmware update solved that for me.)
