Yes circa 2007, I have two Hewit-Packard HP Compaq dc5100, SFF(PW187ET). Rock solid machines that I continue to use every day, as I speak to you now :) The problem driver is the Intel i915, its been around for a long time, there are probably a lot of them out there somewheres. The error message is: xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) Require OpenGL version 2.1 or later. Fatal server error. AddScreen/screen/init failed for driver. Thanks for all your efforts, Grml is so cool. -- _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - [email protected] http://ml.grml.org/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://blog.grml.org/
