Hi all, I spent my friday afternoon, installing potato (r2) on a dell optiplex gx100 with a i810 on board card. Everything went fluently except the configuration of xfree. We already avec a buch of boxes here with i810 cards under debian and Mandrake and until now I didn't have much trouble. After browsing changelogs, searching mailing lists and using google quite intensively I found an answer from Brenden to a similar problem. From memory : - the implementation of the agpgart module in kernel-2.2.18 is not compatible with xfree-3.3.6 and the solution proposed where : - downgrade to 2.2.17 - use C. Botha unofficial xfree-4.0 packages for potato. First remark : - I would be nice if this information where more accessible : On the debian-x page under the agpgart section for exemple. Better would be in the documentation comming with the xserver-svga package. I did try the unofficial xfree4 packages (deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf401_potato/i386/) but i seems the dependence tree is broken : "xserver-xfree86: Depends: xserver-common (>4.0) but 3.3.6-11potato15 is to be installed" So i did revert to kernel 2.2.17 and everything is ok. Now if i didn't misunderstood anything, we can't have kernel-2.2.18 + xfree-3.3.6 + i810 cards actualy on potato. If that's the case, it's an RC bug in the minute, 'cause potato r2 is shipped with kernel-2.2.18PRExx. otherwise I would appreciate if so could explain what I did wrong and what is the pb with xfree-3.3.6 and krnel-2.2.18.
